Keep search on navbar when collapsed - css

Question

I'm trying to maintain a search bar on the right of my navbar when the menu is collapsed, but can't seem to get it just how I want it.
I want the search on the right for the full menu like this:
And for it to collapse looking like this:
The best I can achieve has the search dialog wrapping to the next line and looks horrible.

To achieve this, you'll need to take the <form> out of .navbar-collapse and use #media queries to position the search box where you want.
#media (min-width: 320px) and (max-width: 899px) {
.navbar-search {
padding: 0;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
right: 100px;
}
}
#media (min-width: 900px) {
.navbar-search {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
right: 40px;
}
}
<nav class="navbar navbar-default">
<div class="container-fluid">
<!-- Brand and toggle get grouped for better mobile display -->
<div class="navbar-header">
<button type="button" class="navbar-toggle collapsed" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#bs-example-navbar-collapse-1" aria-expanded="false">
<span class="sr-only">Toggle navigation</span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
</button>
<a class="navbar-brand" href="#">Logo</a>
</div>
<!-- Collect the nav links and other content for toggling -->
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="bs-example-navbar-collapse-1">
<ul class="nav navbar-nav">
<li class="active">Link <span class="sr-only">(current)</span></li>
<li>Link</li>
<li class="dropdown">
Dropdown <span class="caret"></span>
<ul class="dropdown-menu">
<li>Action</li>
<li>Another action</li>
<li>Something else here</li>
<li role="separator" class="divider"></li>
<li>Separated link</li>
<li role="separator" class="divider"></li>
<li>One more separated link</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<!-- /.navbar-collapse -->
<!-- Search form goes here out side of .navbar-collapse -->
<form class="navbar-form navbar-search">
<div class="form-group">
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Search">
</div>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-default hidden-xs hidden-sm">Submit</button>
</form>
</div>
<!-- /.container-fluid -->
</nav>
