Simple Search Bar

The Simple Search Bar project on codepen.io is just plain simple. To demonstrate, in this example the author has created a search box that only uses CSS and HTML. Additionally, the search bar uses a percent width property. Since the width property is used with a percent, it automatically resizes itself as the browser changes shape. As a result, this bar is considered responsive to different window sizes and orientations.

UI Search Bar

The UI Search Bar project on codepen.io is an expanding HTML search bar. To demonstrate, this search bar expands whenever the user clicks on the search icon. Firstly, the search icons animate to become an x button, and an HTML input field slides out to the left. Additionally, this example uses the CSS before and CSS after pseudo-element selectors to animate the icon button. In addition, the selectors use the transition-timing-function with a cubic-bezier to create an animation curve that controls the speed of the animation at different points. As a result, you can see this effect as it transitions to a different icon.
