Question

I have a UISearchBar which acts as a live filter for a table view. When the keyboard is dismissed via endEditing:, the query text and the gray circular \"clear\" button rem

Answer 1

I've run into this several times now. I really appreciate the answers that people have given.

Ultimately, I would really like to see Apple just allow us (the developers) to detect when the clear button has been pressed.

It is obvious that pressing it gets detected because any text in the search box gets cleared.

I am guessing that it just isn't very high up on their list of priorities right now... But I really wish someone at Apple would give UISearchBar a little love!
