For what it's worth, it's not limited at all, just functions different than XF1. The cog icon will drop the advanced search down.
 
I mean that the width is limited. It would be a nice touch if the search bar would expand similar to this:
 
Thank you, was thinking something else! Some changes are coming to the search function, so I can take this into consideration.
 
In 2.1.7 we've adjusted the search menu quite a bit. You'll be able to do this in the template extra.less going forward:

Code:
.xb-searchWrapper.is-active .xb-search > input {
    width: 400px;
}
.xb-searchWrapper.is-active .xb-search .menu--search {
    width: 100%;
    max-width: 400px;
}

This will enlarge the menu when you activate it.

Marking this as not implemented as it's not in the styles officially.
