Buddypress search form in header

Hi I would like to add the buddypress search in the header of my theme

<?php echo bp_search_form() ?>

I tried that but it doesnt appear (everything after it doesnt appear aswell.)

I was wondering if anyone could help me? Also how can I change the input classes to the search form too and remove the submit box from it so just have to press enter?

Thank you guys!

bp_search_form() isn’t really used these days. Try bp_directory_members_search_form() instead. The function will output a search form so no need to use echo.
