Answer 1

If the cancel button shows up when editing the search field of the search bar you could do the following; subclass the search bar and have it implement the UITextFieldDelegateprotocol:

@interface CustomAlignedSearchBar : UISearchBar

Then implement textFieldDidBeginEditing: and do something like:

- (void)textFieldDidBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField{
    [self setShowsCancelButton:self.cancelButtonShown animated:NO];
}

This will make sure that the cancel button will not show up.
