So this is a working searchbar. What I want to do is that it remains visible in desktop devices and become expandable in mobile devices like this one.

I think this isn't possible without the use of Jquery so someone tell me how can I get this functional. Thanks

One way could be to use a stylized checkbox to control the state of the search input.

Stylize a checkbox with an associated label to show the search icon. Use media query and show or hide the search input based on the :checked state of the checkbox.

Demo Snippet:

* { box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0; margin: 0; }
.srch { margin: 8px; }
.srch > label {
  display: inline-block; text-align: center;
  width: 32px; height: 32px; line-height: 32px;
  background-color: #33d; color: #eee;
  cursor: pointer; vertical-align: middle;
}
.srch > label+input { display: none; }
.srch > input[type=text] {
  display: inline-block; height: 32px; width: 240px; padding: 4px;
  border: 1px solid #33d; transition: width 0.5s;
}

@media screen and (max-width: 700px) {
  .srch > input[type=text] { 
    width: 0; border-width: 0px; padding: 0px;
  }
  .srch > input[type=checkbox]:checked + input { 
    width: 240px; border-width: 1px; padding: 4px;
  }
}

<div class="srch">
  <label for='chk'>&#128270;</label>
  <input id='chk' type='checkbox' />
  <input type="text" placeholder="search videos" />
</div>
