Search bar help

Hi, I am using the Kleo theme on my site. By default they offer a search in the navigation but I would like to replace that search with GD search. The current search form is triggered with an ajax form which is entirely what I’m after…but I don’t know how to do it.

I’ve tried adding the GD search in my header but it just doesn’t look right, especially on mobile.

How would I get the GD Search form to replace the default Kleo form? I just want the main search input to be visible. I am okay with hiding the custom place types, location, and advanced search options. It’s mainly for functionality and uniformity throughout my site. Reasons being:

1) Currently, I can limit the Kleo search results to GD listings, but the results page is not consistent with GD search results page. The results are shown as “blog posts”. Which is crappy.

2) Having a search option in the navigation is a huge convenience to visitors so they don’t have to continually navigate to another page or scroll down(on mobile) to reach the sideboxes(where I could use the GD search form shortcode).

I really have two “missing pieces” to my project here. I know that you are all busy, but if anyone would be willing to tackle it, I would be very appreciative. I know I could hire freelance, but they don’t know your product like you do and I know that your support here is solid! Also, the Kleo support has gone way downhill, I know I won’t get any direction from there one way or another.

Thank you!
