I want to have the icon displayed inside the button tag, see code below:
#header-search {
width: 200px;
background: @header-color;
color: white;
font-size: 12pt;
border: 0px solid;
outline: 0;
vertical-align: -50%;
}
#header-search::-webkit-input-placeholder {
color: white;
}
#search-button {
background: #FFFFFF;
vertical-align: -50%;
}
.header-view-logo {
vertical-align: middle;
}
#search-icon {
fill: white;
}<button id="search-button" />
<svg id="search-icon" class="search-icon" viewBox="0 0 24 24">
<path d="M15.5 14h-.79l-.28-.27C15.41 12.59 16 11.11 16 9.5 16 5.91 13.09 3 9.5 3S3 5.91 3 9.5 5.91 16 9.5 16c1.61 0 3.09-.59 4.23-1.57l.27.28v.79l5 4.99L20.49 19l-4.99-5zm-6 0C7.01 14 5 11.99 5 9.5S7.01 5 9.5 5 14 7.01 14 9.5 11.99 14 9.5 14z"/>
<path d="M0 0h24v24H0z" fill="none"/>
</svg>But the icon is just displayed all over the place really big one, how can i get it to fit inside the button ?

Not sure if the button is not closed or just you copied it here and forgot to close it.
#search-button {
width: 100px;
height: 50px;
}
#search-button svg {
width: 25px;
height: 25px;

</button>I've modified your code a bit an put it up at this fiddle.
The two problems were:
- You didn't close your
buttonproperly, it needs to end after the SVG - You needed to specify a width for the button (As you can see I left off some of your other CSS)
I suggest you, doing it this way:
#header-search, #search-button {
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: top;
line-height: 0;
font-size: 1.1rem;
height: 1.7rem;
padding: 0;
}
#header-search {
margin: 0;
line-height: 0;
padding: 0.8rem 0.7rem
}
#search-button {
width: 2.4rem;
height: 1.9rem;
}
#search-icon {
width: 1.3rem;
height: 1.3rem;
}<div class="search">
<input id="header-search" type="search" placeholder="Search..." />
<button id="search-button">
<svg id="search-icon" class="search-icon" viewBox="0 0 24 24">
<path d="M15.5 14h-.79l-.28-.27C15.41 12.59 16 11.11 16 9.5 16 5.91 13.09 3 9.5 3S3 5.91 3 9.5 5.91 16 9.5 16c1.61 0 3.09-.59 4.23-1.57l.27.28v.79l5 4.99L20.49 19l-4.99-5zm-6 0C7.01 14 5 11.99 5 9.5S7.01 5 9.5 5 14 7.01 14 9.5 11.99 14 9.5 14z"/>
<path d="M0 0h24v24H0z" fill="none"/>
</svg>
