Adding a large search bar to the homepage

Hey guys,

Again, appreciate this theme and everything you guys do in regards to support. I attached in the private link a screen shot of a website that features a large homepage search function. Now on my enfold install currently, I use a large color section with an image backdrop…but I was wondering if you had recommendations for how to accomplish this and not hack the site too much? Is there any way to use the native search function and display it here with any plugin or avia theme builder function?

I have a developer who can do something custom but I wanted to run it by you guys first to see if you had ideas or custom CSS code already to make it easy on me.

Secondly, if I wanted to also display a search box (not just the search icon) in the header centered do you have the custom css code for this as well? I owe you guys a million. I’ve had all my friends buy this theme.
