Inline block element, not inline in this case

I have set my search bar div element as inline-block, as well as the img.

However, the div element is below the image, instead on the same horizontal line.

Anyone can advise me why this is happening?

body {
  margin: 0;
}
#header {
  width: 100%;
  height: 60px;
  background-color: #f1f1f1;
}
#header img {
  height: 56px;
  display: inline-block;
  margin-left: 20px;
}
#search {
  display: inline-block;
}
#search input {
  display: inline-block;
  width: 584px;
  height: 38px;
  border: 1px solid #d9d9d9;
}
#search input:hover {
  border: 1px solid black;
}
<div id="header">
  <img src="http://orig04.deviantart.net/1d83/f/2013/087/5/6/google_icon_by_slamiticon-d5z7lrp.png" />
  <div id="search">
    <form>
      <input type="text" name="search" />
    </form>
  </div>
</div>

Your styles are working as they should; the #search input element's width is just too wide! Try looking at the result on a wider screen, and you will see the elements appear inline as expected.

Anticipating your next question, you can prevent wrapping of inline elements using the rule (on the container, e.g. #header):

white-space: nowrap

Anticipating your next question (if I may be so bold), you will probably want to set CSS rule:

vertical-align: middle

on both #header img and #search to get the look you want.

The total width of image and search input is greater than full width of screen. Try with lesser width either of image or search input.
try this one

body {
      margin: 0;
    }
    #header {
      width: 100%;
      height: 60px;
      background-color: #f1f1f1;
    }
    #header img {
      height: 56px;
      display: inline-block;
      margin-left: 5px;
    }
    #search {
      display: inline-block;
      height: 100%;
      position: relative;
      top: -22px;
    }
    #search input {
      display: inline-block;
      width: 450px;
      height: 38px;
      border: 1px solid #d9d9d9;
    }
    #search input:hover {
      border: 1px solid black;
    }
    
<div id="header">
      <img src="http://orig04.deviantart.net/1d83/f/2013/087/5/6/google_icon_by_slamiticon-d5z7lrp.png" />
      <div id="search">
        <form>
          <input type="text" name="search" />
        </form>
      </div>
    </div>

Here is the code snippet with what you want. The problem here is width of input. Since its more it bring the div to next line.

body {
  margin: 0;
}
#header {
  width: 100%;
  height: 60px;
  background-color: #f1f1f1;
}
#header img {
  height: 56px;
  display: inline-block;
  margin-left: 20px;
}
#search {
  display: inline-block;
  height: 100%;
  position: relative;
  top: -22px;
}
#search input {
  display: inline-block;
  width: 480px;
  height: 38px;
  border: 1px solid #d9d9d9;
}
#search input:hover {
  border: 1px solid black;
}
<div id="header">
  <img src="http://orig04.deviantart.net/1d83/f/2013/087/5/6/google_icon_by_slamiticon-d5z7lrp.png" />
  <div id="search">
    <form>
      <input type="text" name="search" />
    </form>
  </div>
</div>
