Font Awesome with easyAutocomplete plugin - html

Question

I have a form in which I want to show the input text field and submit on the same line. The input text field has two FontAwesome icons which I want to show inside the text field. I can style the form as I want when I don't use the easy Autocomplete plugin. But when I activate the easyAutocomplete plugin, the styling goes haywire.
Here's the code:
HTML:
<form role="search" method="get" id="searchform" class="searchform" action="">
<span class="fa fa-map-marker my-fa"></span>
<input type="text" value="" name="s" id="search-input" class="s" placeholder="Enter your Postcode" autocomplete="off">
<img id="slider-loading" class="loading" src="https://www.imageupload.co.uk/images/2017/02/05/gps2.gif" />
<input type="hidden" value="profile" name="post_type" id="post_type" />
<input type="hidden" value="country" name="taxonomy" />
<input type="submit" id="searchsubmit" value="GO" class="submit btn" />
</form>
jQuery
var options = {
data: ["Cyclops", "Storm", "Mystique", "Wolverine", "Professor X", "Magneto"],
theme: "dark"
};
$("#search-input").easyAutocomplete(options);
CSS:
.searchform {
position: relative;
text-align: center;
}
.searchform input[type="text"] {
width: 400px;
font-size: 15px;
margin: 0px -3px 0px 0px;
text-indent: 18px;
padding: 15px;
text-transform: uppercase;
letter-spacing: 1px;
font-weight: 300;
font-family: 'Raleway', sans-serif;
border: solid 1px #bbb;
overflow: hidden;
border-radius: 4px;
}
.searchform input[type=text],
.searchform input[type=text]:focus {
outline: none;
}
.searchform input[type=text]:focus {
border: none;
}
.searchform input[type="submit"] {
background-color: #f70808;
-webkit-box-shadow: 0 2px 0 #c60606;
-moz-box-shadow: 0 2px 0 #c60606;
box-shadow: 0 2px 0 #c60606;
color: white;
border: none;
letter-spacing: 1px;
padding: 15px;
font-size: 15px;
text-align: center;
}
.searchform input[type="submit"],
.searchform input[type="text"] {
line-height: normal !important;
display: inline-block;
}
.my-fa {
font-family: 'FontAwesome';
position: absolute;
z-index: 2;
color: #f70808;
font-size: 2.8em;
margin-left: 4px;
top: 4px;
}
#slider-loading {
position: relative;
top: 12px;
right: 35px;
}
I want to show the map icon on the left of the input text field and and the loading spinner on the right of the input text field.

You could add the following code to your CSS:
.easy-autocomplete{
display:inline;
}
I think it gives you the desired outcome.
The plugin wraps the input in a div which by default have display:block and it throws the other elements out of line.
You may need to adjust the padding/margin to your preference.
