How do I add a search icon/button to the search bar in datatables?

I managed to add the icon and button by doing it this way:

"dom": '<"top"f>',

"oLanguage": { "sSearch": '<a class="btn searchBtn" id="searchBtn"><i class="fa fa-search"></i></a>' },

But it's not attached to the box with a similar border, if that makes sense. I want it to attach similar to how span does it in the HTML. I have tried finding the answer online but no luck so far.
