Sure, just create an empty QListView:

qlv = QListView(*args)
qlv.header().hide()  # you can access the QHeader this way
qlv.addColumn("")  # add your column. which won't need a label (pass 
empty string)

and go from there. Creating a search line should be straightforward, 
connecting it, etc.

Good luck,
