Search Bar in HTML & CSS || Video Tutorial
I have provided all the HTML and CSS code that is used to create this Search Bar. Before you get to the source code file, I would like to mention some points, that you might find useful.
I have used vw (viewport width) for setting the width of search bar instead of px unit. You can use calc(100vw - (width of other elements with search bar)) instead, because a search bar takes full space available while other elements can have their required width in header, irrespective of the viewers device.
I have used CSS transition for that making search box appear and disappear whenever search search icon is clicked.
