Answer 1

Hacking together a few solutions I managed to get mine working by adding lines to viewDidLoad before fully setting up the UISearchController:

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = self.editButtonItem()

    if #available(iOS 9.0, *) {
        self.resultSearchController.loadViewIfNeeded()// iOS 9
    } else {
        // Fallback on earlier versions
        let _ = self.resultSearchController.view          // iOS 8
    }
    self.resultSearchController = ({
        let controller = UISearchController(searchResultsController: nil)
        controller.searchResultsUpdater = self
        controller.dimsBackgroundDuringPresentation = false
        controller.searchBar.sizeToFit()

        self.tableView.tableHeaderView = controller.searchBar

        return controller
    })()

    self.tableView.reloadData()

}
