Is there a way to turn off tag search?

Sadly that's not possible. Users have been asking for this feature however for similar reasons as yours.

I would try searching the feature request page to see if someone already created one for turning off tag search: https://features.jellyfin.org/

If you can't find any, open one to let any potential Jellyfin devs know that someone has interest in this feature.
