Hello,

You can try to add the search box to your menu as described in this article: http://bavotasan.com/2011/adding-a-search-bar-to-the-nav-menu-in-wordpress/
or use some plugin (for example, http://wordpress.org/plugins/search-box-on-navigation-menu/).

well managed to figure it out! in case any one else needs to know below is the code…
```
add_filter('wp_nav_menu_items','search_box_function', 10, 2);
function search_box_function( $top, $args ) {
    if( $args->theme_location == 'top' )
        return $top.'<li class="menu-header-search">'. get_search_form(false) .'</li>';
    return $top;
}
```
