Change the font size of UISearchBar

Question

How can I change the font size of UISearchBar ?

Answer 1

Rewrote Eugene's recursive solution in swift - changed the function name to more accurately describe function. For my case, I needed to change the font size. This worked for me.

func findAndSetTextField(view: UIView) {
    if (view.subviews.count == 0){
        return
    }

    for var i = 0; i < view.subviews.count; i++ {
        var subview : UIView = view.subviews[i] as UIView
        if (subview.isKindOfClass(UITextField)){
            var searchField : UITextField = subview as UITextField
            searchField.font = UIFont(name: "Helvetica", size: 19.0)!
         }
         findAndSetTextField(subview)
    }
}
