Answer 1

If you want to set a custom clear button in a UISearchBar try this:

[[UISearchBar appearance] setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"MyClearButton.png"] forSearchBarIcon:UISearchBarIconClear state:UIControlStateNormal];

Don't forget to set an image for UIControlStateHighlighted

[[UISearchBar appearance] setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"HighlightedClearButton.png"] forSearchBarIcon:UISearchBarIconClear state:UIControlStateHighlighted];
