Adding function to sf-header.php but not displaying in correct location

[hardigi]

Hi
I’m trying to add the woocommerce predictive search plugin function to the head of the site.
I’m adding the following code to sf-header.php file woo_predictive_search_widget()

So output is…

} else if ($header_layout == "header-2") {
		
		$header_output .= '<header id="header" class="clearfix">'. "\n";
		$header_output .= '<div class="container">'. "\n";
		$header_output .= '<div class="row">'. "\n";
		$header_output .= sf_logo('span3 logo-left');
		$header_output .= '<div class="span5">'.woo_predictive_search_widget().'</div>'. "\n";
		$header_output .= '<div class="header-right span4">'.sf_aux_links('header-menu').'</div>'. "\n";
		$header_output .= '</div> <!-- CLOSE .row -->'. "\n";
		$header_output .= '</div> <!-- CLOSE .container -->'. "\n";
		$header_output .= '</header>'. "\n";
		$header_output .= sf_mobile_search();
		$header_output .= '<div id="main-nav">'. "\n";
		$header_output .= sf_main_menu('main-navigation', 'full');
		$header_output .= '</div>'. "\n";

However when the code outputs on the page the search widget code appears above <header id="header" class="clearfix">

And where you would expect it to output (between <div class="span5"> and </div>) is blank!

Any ideas why this might be happening?

Thanks!

IGNORE! This was a plugin issue that was echoing rather than returning!
