@yflyjump You could do two things. First one is: It looks that you are using the rev slider with the help of shortcode and putting it in content of the home page. Instead you could remove that shortcode from content of the home page. Then in the dashboard, go to Appearance->Theme Options->Slider Options Tab-> Slider Options bar. Enable the slider and check on the ‘Revolution Slider’ option. Then just below you will see the Revolution Slider Options bar. Select the rev slider that your created, check on ‘Display on home page’ option. Then click on ‘Save all Changes’. This is a better a way to do it.
Other one is: You could use custom css option to remove the extra white space above the slider. In the dashboard, go to Appearance->Theme Options->Design Options Tab->Custom CSS. Paste the following css and click on ‘Save all Changes’.
.home #main { padding-top: 0px; }
Hope this helps. And about the search in our forum, we will be adding it soon.
