 * Hello,
 * I’m trying to add a search bar to a page on my website, carterliebman.com/photographs.
 * However, in adding it through a shortcode in my functions.php that links to the
   search form, the search bar is aligned left and not within the page boundaries.
 * Any solutions?

 * Around line 944 find and comment out or delete the code
 *     ```
       #searchbar {
           margin-top: -20px;
           position: absolute;
           right: 0;
           top: 50%;
       }
       ```
   
 * to see if it solves the issue. Because it’s the absolute positioning behavior.
