Cannot modify theme-searchbar.php

Hi,
We are trying to change the location of the search bar in our theme and also style it differently. So far we have created a child theme and everything is working fine. However when we copy "includes/theme-searchbar.php" to our child theme it seems that the edits that we make to our theme are not read in.

This problem occurs as "includes/theme-searchbar.php" is loaded by functions.php when we copy functions.php to our child theme we also get errors as the functions.php cannot be loaded twice.

So the question is: How can we edit and re-style the search bar and move it to where we want in our theme?

Thanks
