Haha it's a solution I use and share fairly regularly since we got the new Fluid Engine editor.

@Ziggy You're so fast! Thank you so much, it worked perfectly. 

Add this to custom CSS and adjust the block sizing:
html.squarespace-damask .sqs-blockStatus, .sqs-block .removed-script {
  display: none !important;
}

@derricksrandomviews That's super helpful! Thank you!

I don't know about your current search bar plug-in. It may not be necessary for that plug-in after you move to use summary blocks. If you tell me what plug-ins you are using I can find out. 
There is one thing you should know, blog posts are limited to 20 items per page, and summary blocks are limited to 30 items per block but you can chain blocks on one page and filter those blocks by a category or tag so block one would contain the first 30 posts second block the next 30 and so on. I have more than 80 posts on one page using this method, plus all my summary blocks are in a second blog taking content from the first. There are many tricks available using summary blocks like special designs for the items, button colors all kinds of things. 
I think if you use a second blog page to host your summary blocks your search plugin will work with it. That can be determined. You should also take a look at this summary block plug in, it could work well for you: https://www.squarewebsites.org/squarespace-plugins/lazy-summaries it has a load more feature. 

@derricksrandomviews That's an interesting alternative! Do you know if I can:
1)  Add a "load more" to a summary block?
2) Add my current search/filter plugin to work with the summary block?
Thank you so much for the support!
 

After trying on some different codes to alter the date in the blog post, this code has worked flawlessly! 

I used the MMMM DD, YYYY format and it worked on the first try. Very nice!
