Add Search box in Menu<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To add the search box in menu, we need to add get_search_form() in the menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make changes in menu items – can use “wp_nav_menu_items” filter<\/p>\n\n\n\n

function add_search_form( $items, $args ) {\n    $items .= '<li class=\"ht_menu_search_bar\">' . get_search_form( false ) . '<\/li>';\n    return $items;\n}\n\nadd_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_items','add_search_form', 10, 2 );<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
( if plan to use different search form then the default one using get_search_form, here is an example form wordpress developers<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Add this code in functions.php or in a any file and include that file in functions.php or add using plugin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Its better to create a child theme and create functions.php in child theme and add. by this way you code wont replace when theme updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
CSS<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
A sample CSS for an idea<\/p>\n\n\n\n
make the menu to float right side of the menu, on medium, large screen<\/p>\n\n\n\n
mostly you theme will collapse menu in small screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
@media screen and (min-width: 767px ) { \n\t.ht_menu_search_bar {\n\t\tfloat: right;\n\t}\n}<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
