Question

I am designing a search bar. I need the search bar to look like one in the image. Tried few ways but no changes. Help much appreciated.

self.searchBar is an IBOutlet. You can also create it dynamically.

self.searchBar.layer.borderWidth = 2.0;
self.searchBar.layer.borderColor = [UIColor brownColor].CGColor;
self.searchBar.layer.cornerRadius = 15.0;
self.searchBar.barTintColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:255/255.0 green:246/255.0 blue:241/255.0 alpha:1.0];
self.searchBar.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];

UITextField *textField = [self.searchBar valueForKey:@"_searchField"];
textField.textColor = [UIColor brownColor];
textField.placeholder = @"Search";
textField.leftViewMode = UITextFieldViewModeNever; //hiding left view
textField.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:255/255.0 green:246/255.0 blue:241/255.0 alpha:1.0];
textField.font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:18.0];
[textField setValue:[UIColor brownColor] forKeyPath:@"_placeholderLabel.textColor"];

UIImageView *imgview = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 20, 30)];
imgview.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"searchIcon.png"]; //you need to set search icon for textfield's righ view

textField.rightView = imgview;
textField.rightViewMode = UITextFieldViewModeAlways;

Output :
