UISearchBar includes two subviews,they are 'UISearchBarBackground' and 'UITextField'. In IOS8, you need to remove 'UISearchBarBackground' to clear it.

for (UIView *subview in [[yourSearchBar.subviews lastObject] subviews]) {        
    if ([subview isKindOfClass:NSClassFromString(@"UISearchBarBackground")]) {
        [subview removeFromSuperview];
        break;
    }
}
