Add clickable icon with input-group class to textbox - html

Question

I have created a Textbox and a submit button with the help of input-group in Bootstrap:
<div class="form-group">
<div class="input-group input-group-lg col-lg-6 col-centered">
<input type="text" class="form-control">
<span class="input-group-btn">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default">
Search
</button>
</span>
</div>
</div>
I want to add an icon for geolocation in the textbox which is clickable, I tried to do many things like adding another span with input-group-addon but that's creating a button kind of thing. I want the icon to be inside the textbox and make it clickable. Can anybody suggest a way to do it?

Add an anchor set it a class of glyphicon and then make its position:absolute like one below:

Search
</button>
</span>
</div>
CSS

z-index:1000;
top:30%;
left:2%;
}

{
text-decoration: none !important;
}

Anirudh, Hi there, You could probably try something like this without all the extra css.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.4/css/bootstrap.min.css">
<div class="form-group">
<div class="input-group input-group-lg col-lg-6 col-centered">
<a href="#" onclick="alert('clicked');" ></a>
<div class="input-group-addon glyphicon glyphicon-map-marker btn"></div>
<input type="text" class="form-control">
<span class="input-group-btn">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default">
Search
</button>
</span>
</div>
</div>

<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-2 col-md-2 col-lg-2"></div>
<form ng-submit="search(searchterm)">
<div class="form-group">
<div class="input-group input-group-lg col-sm-8 col-md-8 col-lg-8 col-centered">
<input type="text" class="form-control" ng-model="searchterm">
<span class="input-group-btn">
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-default">
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-search"></span>
</button>
</span>
</div>
</div>
</form>
<div class="col-sm-2 col-md-2 col-lg-2"></div>
</div> <!-- end row -->
My client wanted a search box with a clickable search glyphicon on the right, and the search box centered in the window, the search box bigger than normal (input-group-lg), with responsive views. I was a miserable wretch until I saw AngularJR's answer. :-)
