How to add "Better Search" to Nav bar

[nhed]

Hi,

I'm using Altitude Pro theme and need to add "Better Search" to the Primary Nav Menu that show up in the header.

I assume that I need to add code to the functions.php file.

Could someone point me to the code that I would have to add to have the Better Search show up just to the right of the nav menu?

I would like it to appear next to the hamburger mobile menu in the narrower screen resolutions and not on a separate row for mobile and tablets.

Any hep would be greatly appreciated. Thanks once again.

This is the code I'm using to add the native WP search to the header, but I don't like the results I've seen from this search function, so am looking at Better Search as a solution.

Here's the code for the native WP search:

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 . '</li>';

//* Uncomment this block to add the date to the navigation menu
/*
$menu .= '<li class="right date">' . date_i18n( get_option( 'date_format' ) ) . '</li>';
*/
return $menu;
}

I've got a pretty classy looking search on my site and it's one I duplicated with a different color scheme for http:://yellowwoodgroup.com/. Take a look, if you like it, here is a tutorial: http://victorfont.com/do-you-like-this-sites-search-bar/
