How to open a search bar to left - html

Question

I've a search box created in CSS. When I click its icon, it displays input bar. It works perfectly. The only problem is when I click it, it opens input bar in right side area of search icon. I wanted to open it to left side of the icon. How I can do that?
Here's the code I am using:
input[type=search] {
-webkit-appearance: textfield;
-webkit-box-sizing: content-box;
font-family: inherit;
font-size: 100%
}
input::-webkit-search-cancel-button,
input::-webkit-search-decoration {
display: none;
}
input[type=search] {
background: var(--search-color);
border: solid 1px var(--bg-color);
width: 55px;
-webkit-border-radius: 10em;
-moz-border-radius: 10em;
border-radius: 10em;
-webkit-transition: all .5s;
-moz-transition: all .5s;
transition: all .5s
}
input[type=search]:focus {
width: 130px;
background-color: #fff;
border-color: #66cc75;
-webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 5px rgba(109, 207, 246, .5);
-moz-box-shadow: 0 0 5px rgba(109, 207, 246, .5);
box-shadow: 0 0 5px rgba(109, 207, 246, .5)
}
#sv2 input[type=search] {
width: 24px;
padding-left: 10px;
color: transparent;
cursor: pointer;
outline: 0
}
#sv2 input[type=search]:hover {
background-color: var(--bg-color)
}
#sv2 input[type=search]:focus {
width: 160px;
padding-left: 32px;
color: var(--font-color);
background-color: var(--bg-color);
cursor: auto
}
#sv2 input:-moz-placeholder {
color: transparent
}
#sv2 input::-webkit-input-placeholder {
color: transparent
}
<form method="get" action="https://www.example.com/" id="sv2">
<input name="s" id="s" size="30" type="search" placeholder="Search example.com">
</form>
Thanks for your help!

To change the size from right to left, you have to move the whole page with direction: rtl; Adjust it.
body {
background: #fff;
color: #666;
font: 90%/180% Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
width: 800px;
max-width: 96%;
margin: 0 auto;
direction: rtl;
}
a {
color: #69C;
text-decoration: none;
}
a:hover {
color: #F60;
}
h1 {
font: 1.7em;
line-height: 110%;
color: #000;
}
p {
margin: 0 0 20px;
}
input {
outline: none;
}
input[type=search] {
-webkit-appearance: textfield;
-webkit-box-sizing: content-box;
font-family: inherit;
font-size: 100%;
}
input::-webkit-search-decoration,
input::-webkit-search-cancel-button {
display: none;
}
input[type=search] {
background: #ededed url(https://static.tumblr.com/ftv85bp/MIXmud4tx/search-icon.png) no-repeat 9px center;
border: solid 1px #ccc;
padding: 9px 10px 9px 32px;
width: 55px;
-webkit-border-radius: 10em;
-moz-border-radius: 10em;
border-radius: 10em;
-webkit-transition: all .5s;
-moz-transition: all .5s;
transition: all .5s;
}
input[type=search]:focus {
width: 130px;
background-color: #fff;
border-color: #66CC75;
-webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 5px rgba(109, 207, 246, .5);
-moz-box-shadow: 0 0 5px rgba(109, 207, 246, .5);
box-shadow: 0 0 5px rgba(109, 207, 246, .5);
}
input:-moz-placeholder {
color: #999;
}
input::-webkit-input-placeholder {
color: #999;
}
/* Demo 2 */
#demo-2 input[type=search] {
width: 15px;
padding-left: 10px;
color: transparent;
cursor: pointer;
}
#demo-2 input[type=search]:hover {
background-color: #fff;
}
#demo-2 input[type=search]:focus {

padding-left: 32px;

#demo-2 input:-moz-placeholder {

#demo-2 input::-webkit-input-placeholder {

Or adjust it by setting the input with the position: absolute; and setting the right:0;.
body {
background: #fff;
color: #666;
font: 90%/180% Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
width: 100%;
max-width: 96%;
margin: 0 auto;
}

}

}
input[type=search] {

}
input[type=search]:focus {

}
input:-moz-placeholder {

}
input::-webkit-input-placeholder {
color: #999;
}
#myForm {
