Then add the following css below

.searchbardiv{
    display: block;
    position: fixed;
    background: #7D1935 ;
    top: 50px;
    right: 0px;
    z-index: 1001;
    width: 100%;
    max-width: 100%;
    padding: 10px;
    margin: 0px;
}
.buttonsearch{
    position: fixed;
    top :18px;
    float: right;
    right: 0px;
    margin-right: 10px;
    background-color: transparent;
    border: 0px;
    -webkit-box-shadow: none;
    -moz-box-shadow: none;
    box-shadow: none;
}
.buttonsearch:hover{
    -webkit-box-shadow: none;
    -moz-box-shadow: none;
    box-shadow: none;
    border: 0px;

}
.buttonsearch:focus{
    -webkit-box-shadow: none;
    -moz-box-shadow: none;
    box-shadow: none;
    border: 0px;

}
#formsearch{
    display: none;
}
.glyphicon.glyphicon-search {
    font-size: 18px;
}
#searchbox {
    
    box-shadow: none;
    padding: 8px 14px;
}
#searchbox:hover {
    box-shadow: none;
}

.form-control:focus {
    border-color: #ccc;
    }

.navbar-toggle {
    margin-right: 35px;
    border: none;
    background: transparent !important;
}
.navbar-toggle:hover {
    background: transparent !important;
}
.navbar-toggle .icon-bar {
    width: 22px;
    transition: all 0.2s;
}
.navbar-toggle .top-bar {
    transform: rotate(45deg);
    transform-origin: 10% 10%;
}
.navbar-toggle .middle-bar {
    opacity: 0;
}
.navbar-toggle .bottom-bar {
    transform: rotate(-45deg);
    transform-origin: 10% 90%;
}
.navbar-toggle.collapsed .top-bar {
    transform: rotate(0);
}
.navbar-toggle.collapsed .middle-bar {
    opacity: 1;
}
.navbar-toggle.collapsed .bottom-bar {
    transform: rotate(0);
}

.searchbardiv{

display: block;

position: fixed;

background: #7D1935 ;

top: 50px;

right: 0px;

z-index: 1001;

width: 100%;

max-width: 100%;

padding: 10px;

margin: 0px;

}

.buttonsearch{

position: fixed;

top :18px;

float: right;

right: 0px;

margin-right: 10px;

background-color: transparent;

border: 0px;

-webkit-box-shadow: none;

-moz-box-shadow: none;

box-shadow: none;

}

.buttonsearch:hover{

-webkit-box-shadow: none;

-moz-box-shadow: none;

box-shadow: none;

border: 0px;

}

.buttonsearch:focus{

-webkit-box-shadow: none;

-moz-box-shadow: none;

box-shadow: none;

border: 0px;

}

#formsearch{

display: none;

}

.glyphicon.glyphicon-search {

font-size: 18px;

}

#searchbox {

box-shadow: none;

padding: 8px 14px;

}

#searchbox:hover {

box-shadow: none;

}

.form-control:focus {

border-color: #ccc;

}

.navbar-toggle {

margin-right: 35px;

border: none;

background: transparent !important;

}

.navbar-toggle:hover {

background: transparent !important;

}

.navbar-toggle .icon-bar {

width: 22px;

transition: all 0.2s;

}

.navbar-toggle .top-bar {

transform: rotate(45deg);

transform-origin: 10% 10%;

}

.navbar-toggle .middle-bar {

opacity: 0;

}

.navbar-toggle .bottom-bar {

transform: rotate(-45deg);

transform-origin: 10% 90%;

}

.navbar-toggle.collapsed .top-bar {

transform: rotate(0);

}

.navbar-toggle.collapsed .middle-bar {

opacity: 1;

}

.navbar-toggle.collapsed .bottom-bar {

transform: rotate(0);

}

So the search button can run a well, add the jquery function as below

$('#buttonsearch').click(function(){
                $('#formsearch').slideToggle( "fast",function(){
                     $( '#content' ).toggleClass( "moremargin" );
                } );
                $('#searchbox').focus()
                $('.openclosesearch').toggle();
        });
