Set $wgAdvancedSearchDeepcatEnabled = false;.

Is it possible to use incategory instead of Deepcategory? I can't get SPARQL working.

I'm not sure how this is SPARQL related. I'm afraid you need to explain this more. What you can always do is just type incategory:… in the search bar. Since this should do more or less the same as the deepcat: keyword, the AdvancedSearch interface as it is now only suggests one of the two keywords.

So by default when you use Advanced Search it uses deepcat: but I want it to use incategory:

Since I can't get deepcat: working on my MediaWiki site, I wanted to provide the "search by category" functionality, but when people use it, they get a yellow error because SPARQL isn't working, and no results display. Most of my users don't know how to use incategory: in the search bar.

Oh, you are talking about a third-party installation. In this case you can add the line $wgAdvancedSearchDeepcatEnabled = false; to your LocalSettings.php.

Thanks. Is there also a setting to completely remove a search box under advanced, such as hiding the line "Pages with these templates"?

Not as of now, sorry. There are plans to make the interface customizable, see phab:T217446.
