Add search bar to secondary navigation

[giraffeweb]

I added a search bar to the secondary navigation on the MetroPro theme so it aligns at the top beside the 2 navigation buttons. It worked a few months ago but stopped recently. Did something change in the latest Genesis update (or WP 4.1) to make it stop working?

I followed the snippet found here:
http://easywebdesigntutorials.com/modifying-the-search-box-in-genesis/

code snippet is:
/* Add a search box to the secondary menu - top bar*/
add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_items', 'genesis_search_secondary_nav_menu', 10, 2 );

function genesis_search_secondary_nav_menu( $menu, stdClass $args ){
if ( 'secondary' != $args->theme_location )
return $menu;

if( genesis_get_option( 'nav_extras' ) )
return $menu;

$menu .= sprintf( '<div class="secondary-search">%s</div>', __( genesis_search_form( $echo ) ) );

return $menu;
}

My original code works but not if I limit the height of the search bar. No matter what when you type in the search it drops into the bottom of the search input and it doesn't work. I am not sure if there is a way to actually customize the search input box so that it can be made smaller but will try a few things to see.
