title: How to center a form element (search box) inside of Bootstrap navbar?
body: <p>I'm trying to get the search box to be in the center of my Bootstrap navbar. Removing navbar-left seems to destroy the alignment on the navbar. Im going for something like the <a href="http://linkedin.com" rel="noreferrer">linkedin.com</a> page. Whats the easiest way to do this?<br>
  Heres a link to a JSFiddle of my navbar <a href="https://jsfiddle.net/b6pmy9w4/" rel="noreferrer">https://jsfiddle.net/b6pmy9w4/</a>. Thanks in advance for any help. <br>
