HTML GET Form: how to append to search term

I have this form:

        <form role="search" method="get" action="<?php echo esc_url( $destination ); ?>">
            <?php do_action( 'searchwp_live_search_widget_before_field' ); ?>
            <label>
                <input type="search" class="search-field" placeholder="<?php echo esc_attr( $placeholder ); ?>" value="" name="s" data-swplive="true" data-swpengine="<?php echo esc_attr( $engine ); ?>" data-swpconfig="<?php echo esc_attr( $config ); ?>" title="<?php echo esc_attr( $placeholder ); ?>" autocomplete="off">
            </label>
            <input type="hidden" name="post_type=product">
            <div class="flex-col top"> <button type="submit" value=""></button></div>
        </form>

As you see, I did insert an extra hidden input field to get "&post_type=product" into my result search string. The end result is however:

www.site.com/?s=TERM&post_type%3Dproduct=

The "=" sign is scrambled and there is an extra "=" at the end. How do I append "&post_type=product" to my form query without having to rewrite via js or similar?

In the hidden input you have both name and value as every other input, and so the right way to use it is this:

<input type="hidden" name="post_type" value="product">
