How to get bootstrap element to collapse at wider screen width

Hi, My problem is that whenever the screen width is reduced to the following range 768px to 991px, the searchbox gets pushed down thus blocking some of the elements below. See code below.

Could someone please describe how I can prevent that from happening?

I will like the elements in the nav section to either collapse at a wider screen width or for the search box to shrink.

It will be wonderfull if I could get the two solutions.

As for the shrinking/expanding of the search box you would need media queries and put an additional class or an id on the containing div element.

e.g.

<div class="navbar-form navbar-right searchbar">
           <form id="search">
          <div class="input-group form-group">
            <input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Search: Keyword, Title, Author, ISBN" size="30" style="
    /* width: 88%; */
"> 
              <span class="input-group-btn">
                <button class="btn btn-default form-control" type="button">Go!</button>
              </span>
          </div><!-- /input-group -->
        </form>  
        </div>

@media (min-width: 768px) {
    .searchbar {
        width: 40%
    }
}
