How can I show a UISearchBar in the NavigationBar?
I can't figure out how to do this.
Your help is very much appreciated.

You can add a UISearchBar as you would with any other control by dragging one to your view controller in interface builder or by programmatically adding it. The delegate property of search bar must be set to an object that implements UISearchBarDelegate.
Change Search Bar Default Image Color The left hand default search image in UISearchBar represents the left view of the UITextField. The Image is rendered to change it to the desired colour. @IBOutlet weak var searchBar: UISearchBar! Hope it will help you in customising the UISearchBar in your app.
To create a search bar in the navigation bar is easy, just like creating another option in the navbar that will search the database. You need to be careful about the timing of placing the search bar. Make sure separately placed in the navbar.
To put searchBar into the center of navigationBar:
self.navigationItem.titleView = self.searchBarTop; To put searchBar to the left/right side of navigationBar:
UIBarButtonItem *searchBarItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:searchBar]; self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = searchBarItem; As of iOS 7, the UISearchDisplayController supports this by default. Set the UISearchDisplayController's displaysSearchBarInNavigationBar = YES to get this working easily.
Per the documentation:
Starting in iOS 7.0, you can use a search display controller with a navigation bar (an instance of the UINavigationBar class) by configuring the search display controller’s displaysSearchBarInNavigationBar and navigationItem properties.
