Adding overlay search to wordpress using add action/filter

I want to add custom overlay search to my WordPress site using add action. Somehow, it is not triggering the javascripts to show the overlay html. However, it is working in a browser when I test simply in browser by saving as html, can be checked here. How can I properly add them n functions.php to run these codes.

Here is my codes which I add to functions.php. Even, the scripts are also present when the page loads. The searchbox contains the onclick event.

The form code

<form method="get" id="search" action="https://tatest.tutorialsart.com/">
    <input id="search-input"  inputmode="search" onclick="openSearch()" type="text" name="s" title="Search for" placeholder="Search for" />
        <button id="search-submit" type="submit">
                <span class="tie-icon-search tie-search-icon" aria-hidden="true"></span>
                <span class="screen-reader-text">Search for</span>
        </button>
                
 </form>

The scripts for triggering the overlay in functions.php

add_action( 'wp_footer', 'Search_trigger_script' );
function Search_trigger_script() {
?>
<script type="text/javascript">
function openSearch() {
  document.getElementById("myOverlay").style.display = "block";
}

function closeSearch() {
  document.getElementById("myOverlay").style.display = "none";
}

</script>
<?php
}

The html overlay code in functions.php

add_action( 'wp_footer', 'Search_overlay_html' );
function Search_overlay_html() {
?>
