How we should make it work:

The escape key should close it.
Moving the mouse more than a certain distance away should close it.

There must be JavaScript libraries like HoverIntent for making it easier to build a natural, human forgivingness into interfaces like this.

The quick 'fix' is to have it close if the mouse isn't hovering directly over it. The problem with this was the search box frustratingly closing when it wasn't intended. Though maybe if it does or can be made to preserve the box as long as its over the blue, it will work as hoped.

Or, as @FreeScholar suggests, with our short menu it won't be a problem on all somewhat larger screens if we simply moved the menu navigation. Not sure how putting it near the logo would look, or maybe centered? Also a possibility on big screens to just always show the search bar, and push the menu navigation that much farther right, which would look better than it does now, way off to the right-hand side on large screens.

This only happens if you hover over the search icon, and it's the intended behavior, but i agree that the possibility for an accidental hover and then the search box not automatically going away is a problem. Right now the only way to remove it is to click outside it. How we should make it work: * The escape key should close it. * Moving the mouse more than a certain distance away should close it.
