Adding a search box form to my navbar - html

Question

I'm new to front end design and am having challenges implementing a search box with filters into my navbar. I know this is potentially trivial but I have found it very challenging, and typically end up with a jumbled mess when I insert the searchbox code into my desired area (commented in the second code block).
The code for the search box is:
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-4 col-xs-offset-2">
<div class="input-group">
<div class="input-group-btn search-panel">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown">
<span id="search_concept">Filter by</span> <span class="caret"></span>
</button>
<ul class="dropdown-menu" role="menu">
<li>Contains</li>
<li>It's equal</li>
<li>Greather than ></li>
<li>Less than < </li>
<li class="divider"></li>
<li>Anything</li>
</ul>
</div>
<input type="hidden" name="search_param" value="all" id="search_param">
<input type="text" class="form-control" name="x" placeholder="Search term...">
<span class="input-group-btn">
<button class="btn btn-default" type="button">
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-search"></span>
</button>
</span>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
The code for my nav bar is as follows, with a comment indicating where I need the search box to go:
<nav class="navbar navbar-default">
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="navbar-header">
<button type="button" class="navbar-toggle collapsed" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#navbar" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="navbar">
<span class="sr-only">Toggle navigation</span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
</button>
<a class="navbar-brand" href="#">Project name</a>
</div>
<div id="navbar" class="navbar-collapse collapse">
<ul class="nav navbar-nav">
<li>Home</li>
<li>About</li>
<li>
<!--SEARCH BAR HERE -->
</li>
</ul>
<ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right">
<li>Log in</li>
<li>Join us</li>
<li><i class="fa fa-twitter color-twitter"></i></li>
<li><i class="fa fa-facebook color-facebook"></i></li>
</ul>
</div>
<!--/.nav-collapse -->
</div>
<!--/.container-fluid -->
</nav>
The final result should look something like:
