IOS8 UISearchController displays search bar directly

I am trying to show a simple search screen for my iphone app using UISearchController. I used UITableViewController and UISearchController which I have embedded in UINavigationController

  • This will give me the following screen ( state 1 )

searchcontroller with navigation bar

  • When user clicks on the search box, I get the screen below ( state 2 ): The search bar displays well at the top of the screen below the status bar.

searchcontroller activated

What I want to do is to get state 2 immediately without going to state 1

I tried to add this code

presentViewController(searchController, animated: true, completion: nil)

but it either doesn't display the search bar if the animated is false, or it displays it the way I want but after an unnecessary transition that temporarily displays the navbar

Ok, I just found how to do it by reading this answer UISearchController in UIViewController

I just need to add a search bar to get the desired effect



    searchController.hidesNavigationBarDuringPresentation = false
    // tableView.tableHeaderView = searchController.searchBar
    navigationItem.titleView = searchController.searchBar
