Where to use it
An expanding search bar saves room in crowded headers. It works well for a blog with a busy menu, the top bar of a small online shop or the mobile header of a news site. At rest it is a round button with a magnifying glass; click it and it springs open into a wide field.
When the field loses focus it shrinks back, so it suits sites where search is a helper, not the main road. On a documentation site or a large catalog, where people search all the time, show a full search bar from the start.
