Example: Default magento search form : only required part shown in example, in phtml only update the attribute of elements

Form Element add extra class = searchbox

Form Input search box add extra class = searchbox-input & onkeyup=buttonUp()

Form Submit button extra class = searchbox-submit

And Next to submit button add a span element

<span class="searchbox-icon">Find</span>

<form class="form minisearch searchbox" id="search_mini_form" ...>

        <div class="field search">

            <label class="label" ... >

                <span>Search</span>

            </label>

            <div class="control">

                <input id="search" type="text" ... class="input-text searchbox-input" onkeyup="buttonUp();">



            </div>

        </div>

        <div class="actions">

            <button type="submit" class="action search  searchbox-submit" >

                <span>Go</span>

As your required for mobile only so trigger js in mobile below 768px only

  $(document).ready(function(){

        var submitIcon = $('.searchbox-icon');

        var inputBox = $('.searchbox-input');

        var searchBox = $('.searchbox');

        var isOpen = false;

        submitIcon.click(function(){

            if(isOpen == false){

                searchBox.addClass('searchbox-open');

                inputBox.focus();

                isOpen = true;

            } else {

                searchBox.removeClass('searchbox-open');

                inputBox.focusout();

                isOpen = false;

            }

        });  

         submitIcon.mouseup(function(){

                return false;

            });

        searchBox.mouseup(function(){

                return false;

            });

        $(document).mouseup(function(){

                if(isOpen == true){

                    $('.searchbox-icon').css('display','block');

                    submitIcon.click();

                }

            });

    });

    function buttonUp(){

            var inputVal = $('.searchbox-input').val();

            inputVal = $.trim(inputVal).length;

            if( inputVal !== 0){

                $('.searchbox-icon').css('display','none');

            } else {
