Increase width of seach textbox inside navbar-header

I have a search textbox in navbar-header, on collapse, the width of the textbox is fine. But in full screen, the textbox width is reduced. How can I increase the width in full screen mode?

I know there are a lot of questions, like this on SO and the web.

However, I have tried all the suggestions, none has helped me.

here is my code, can someone tell what I'm doing wrong? Thanks.

.navbar .navbar-form {
  padding: 0 15px;
  border: 0;
  -webkit-box-shadow: none;
  box-shadow: none;
}
.navbar-inverse {
  background: #465f62;
  border: none;
}
.navbar-inverse .navbar-brand {
  color: white;
  font-size: 40px;
}
.navbar-inverse .navbar-nav > li > a {
  color: white;
  font-size: 18px;
}

Because bootstrap(BT) just use the default input width to achieve the navbar input. So if you want to redefine the width of input, maybe jquery is a better choice.

$(window).resize(function (){
  var width = $(window).width();
  $('input').width(width - 380);
})

the number 380 is from of the colony and Hello Doe width. After all, there is enough space to arrangement all elements.
