Angular-material: input-group and md-buttons on same line

Issue

I'm having some trouble trying to include an input-group and a couple of buttons on the same line using angular-material.

The following HTML structure produces the result you can see on the image below it, which is not what I want:

<section layout-align="end center" layout-padding flex>
    <div layout="row" layout-align="start center" flex>
        <div class="input-group">
            <input type="text" class="form-control" ng-model="monitor.query" placeholder="Search reports" aria-describedby="addon">
            <span class="input-group-addon" id="addon"><i class="fa fa-search"></i></span>
        </div>
    </div>
    <section layout-padding>
        <md-button class="md-primary" data-dismiss="modal" type="submit" id="submit" value="Submit" ng-click="monitor.newReport();">New Report</md-button>
        <md-button class="md-hollow disabled" data-dismiss="modal" type="button">Export</md-button>
    </section>
</section>

However, if I try to include all elements within the same layout="row", the input-group ends up taking all the space and pushing the buttons out of the parent div:

<section class="no-print" layout-align="end center" layout-padding flex>
    <div layout="row" layout-align="start center" flex>
        <div class="input-group">
            <input type="text" class="form-control" ng-model="monitor.query" placeholder="Search reports" aria-describedby="addon">
            <span class="input-group-addon" id="addon"><i class="fa fa-search"></i></span>
        </div>
        <md-button class="md-primary" data-dismiss="modal" type="submit" id="submit" value="Submit" ng-click="monitor.newReport();">New Report</md-button>
        <md-button class="md-hollow disabled" data-dismiss="modal" type="button">Export</md-button>
    </div>
</section>

Is there a right way of having an input group and a couple of buttons all on the same line using angular-material or do I have to create my own styles?

Solution

Try the following code:

<form layout layout-align="center" layout-padding>
    <div layout="row" flex>
        <md-input-container flex class="md-icon-float md-block md-title">
            <label>Your font number</label>
            <!-- below is the material icons -->
            <md-icon class="material-icons">phone</md-icon>
            <input type="text">
        </md-input-container>
        <div>
            <md-button class="md-raised">
            <!-- below is the material icons -->
                <md-icon class="material-icons">search</md-icon>
            </md-button>
        </div>
    </div>  
</form>
