 * hi there,
 * i’m trying to add a search form into a menu – ideally from a template part. trouble
   is if i do this, it doesn’t pull anything in there:
 *     ```
       <?php wp_nav_menu( array(
       'theme_location' => 'primary',
       'before' => '<h3>',
       'after' => '</h3>',
   
       'items_wrap'  => '<ul id="%1$s" class="%2$s">%3$s<li class="responsiveSearch"><ul><li class="lisearch"><h3><a href="#" class="search">Search</a></h3><span><div class="box">' . get_template_part( 'element', 'searchbox' ) . '</div></span></li></ul> </li></ul>',
   
       ) ); ?>
       ```
   
 * any ideas on how can this be done?
    thanks!
