Close the button tag
You've floated both the search bar and
the button. The parent div won't use the height that the children
occupy, until you insert a div with style "clear:both". You've done
a "clear: both" after the form, and not after the children.
<form class="form-wrapper cf">
<input type="text" placeholder="Search here..." required>
<button type="submit">Go< /button>< div style="clear:both">
</div>
</form>
With respect to aligning it to right top, you need to position it absolute or fixed, and specify the "right" and "top" attributes. Did you even try doing that? Or, did you think that you could copy a snippet from somewhere and Stackoverflow members would fix it for you?
.form-wrapper {
width: 450px;
padding: 15px;
position: absolute;
top:50px;
right: 50px;
background: #444;
background: rgba(0,0,0,.2);
border-radius: 10px;
box-shadow: 0 1px 1px rgba(0,0,0,.4) inset, 0 1px 0 rgba(255,255,255,.2);
}
