Is there an easy way to add a search to the main navigation menu in the 2017 Theme using Layouts? I tried creating a 4 cell grid and adding the search in the right cell box by making it a widget but the cell got pushed to the next line and the styling got all screwed up on the page.

What I'd like to do is have a search box available in the red zone on the attached screenshot. Is there a quick and easy way to do this using Layouts?

I do have Bootstrap styling enabled if it helps!

I think the best way to do this is to use separate cells in a single row of your Layout, like you have described. On the left, include your menu cell. On the right, include the search form cell. However, with the amount of customization that's possible this may need some tweaking. If you're having some styling issues with this format, please post the URL where I can see the problem occurring and I will take a look.
