If the above solutions don't seem working then make sure that you've set the search bar style to Minimal.

[self.searchDisplayController.searchBar setSearchBarStyle:UISearchBarStyleMinimal];

And for simple searchBar

[self.searchBar setSearchBarStyle:UISearchBarStyleMinimal];

SearchBar Style can also be set from interface builder to Minimal.
