Dear Marta, that's how I did it. I just override it with the use of media queries for the different device sizes. Best, Sven

Hi, you have to add your custom CSS and to replace our one. For now it is:
.form-inline .md-form .form-control.mdb-autocomplete { width15rem; }
So, replace this value with your one.
Best,
Marta

Dear Marta, thank you for your answer :)! Yes it is almost like I wanted to have it. Do you have an idea of how I can make the searchbar width longer? I wrapped it up in a row like the following:
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6 offset-md-3">
<div class="d-flex justify-content-center">div>
/** search form **/
</div>
</div>
</div>
