Adding Search to Nav Bar

[EmLY14]

Is it possible to add a search feature to the primary navigation menu in Cafe Pro? Thanks in advance.

Try the Genesis Nav Menu extras

Thank you @braddalton but this didn't work when I added the code to my functions folder.

As of Genesis 2.1, the Primary Navigation Extras options have been removed for new installs. (upgrades of current installs to 2.1 will not lose the Primary Navigation Extras settings). If you are running a new install and want to add a the date or a search form to a navigation menu, use the following code. (see comments for further instruction)

You'll need to uncomment part of the code to enable the search function like this.

//* Uncomment this block to add a search form to the navigation menu

	ob_start();
	get_search_form();
	$search = ob_get_clean();
	$menu  .= '<li class="right search">' . $search . '';

I am running Version: 2.2.3

Just to confirm I need to add all of the code including the Uncomment piece into the functions folder -

add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_items', 'theme_menu_extras', 10, 2 );
/**
* Filter menu items, appending either a search form or today's date.
*
* @param string $menu HTML string of list items.
* @param stdClass $args Menu arguments.
*
* @return string Amended HTML string of list items.
*/
function theme_menu_extras( $menu, $args ) {
//* Change 'primary' to 'secondary' to add extras to the secondary navigation menu
if ( 'primary' !== $args->theme_location )
return $menu;
//* Uncomment this block to add a search form to the navigation menu
/*
ob_start();
get_search_form();
$search = ob_get_clean();
$menu .= '<li class="right search">' . $search . '';
*/
return $menu;

Using a code editor, add the following to your functions file
