Answer 1

Subclass the uisearchbar and override initWithFrame and initWithCoder method and set the background color as

// For searchbar created programmatically
- (id)initWithCoder:(NSCoder *)aDecoder
{
    self = [super initWithCoder:aDecoder];
    if (self) {
        [self configureSetup];
    }
    return self;
}

// For search bar created on xib
- (id)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame
{
    self = [super initWithFrame:frame];
    if (self) {
        [self configureSetup];
    }
    return self;
}

- (void)configureSetup
{
    self.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
}

and use the subclassed searchbar instead in place where you specified UISearchBar
