Solves a problem. In the future it would be good to get the option of a magnifying
glass button instead of text.

The default WP search widget didn’t look nice in my sidebar. It kept spilling over
the edge on smaller screen sizes. This responsive search widget fixed the problem–
the size of the search field adjusts to smaller or larger screen sizes. Thanks!!!
