Increase width of seach textbox inside navbar-header - html

Question

I have a search textbox in navbar-header, on collapse, the width of the textbox is fine. But in full screen, the textbox width is reduced. How can I increase the width in full screen mode?
I know there are a lot of questions, like this on SO and the web.
However, I have tried all the suggestions, none has helped me.
here is my code, can someone tell what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks.
.navbar .navbar-form {
padding: 0 15px;
border: 0;
-webkit-box-shadow: none;
box-shadow: none;
}
.navbar-inverse {
background: #465f62;
border: none;
}
.navbar-inverse .navbar-brand {
color: white;
font-size: 40px;
}
.navbar-inverse .navbar-nav > li > a {
color: white;
font-size: 18px;
}

Because bootstrap(BT) just use the default input width to achieve the navbar input. So if you want to redefine the width of input, maybe jquery is a better choice.
$(window).resize(function (){
var width = $(window).width();
$('input').width(width - 380);
})
the number 380 is from of the colony and Hello Doe width. After all, there is enough space to arrangement all elements.
