How to put a search box to the right of the breadcrumbs?

There is a lot of empty space toward the right margin of the page, to the right of the breadcrumbs. I would like to utilize that empty space to put a widget (search box). I’ve tried a few things but my programming skills are lacking. How can I place a widget area in that empty space?

Any help would be appreciated.
Have a great Sunday.

    Hi Chris

    Thanks for reaching out.

    We, unfortunately, can’t dive very deep into these tasks due the amount of custom development involved. A summary would be:

    1. Create new widget area in child theme functions file:

    2. Copy header.php to child theme if not there already.

    3. Display that widget area after

    There are other styling concerns that would need to be handled but the above is the basics.

    thanks Andrew. I just realized that I asked the exact same question in two different threads a month apart. I don’t remember posting the first time (it must have been one of those very long days). I apologize for the duplication and thank you for your feedback. I was hoping that creating a widget area would be easier, but it does look involved.
