Removing the image on the left of an UISearchbar

Question

Can I remove the image on the left of an UISearchbar and add a new image?

Answer 1

For a specific UISearchBar instance.

Objective-C:

// Get the inner search field.
UITextField *searchField = (UITextField *)[searchBar valueForKey:@"searchField"];

// Hide the left search icon.
[searchField setLeftViewMode:UITextFieldViewModeNever];
