Simple use native editBarButton like this

self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = self.editButtonItem;
[self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem setAction:@selector(editBarBtnPressed)];

and then

- (void)editBarBtnPressed {
    if ([infoTable isEditing]) {
        [self.editButtonItem setTitle:@"Edit"];
        [infoTable setEditing:NO animated:YES];
    }
    else {
        [self.editButtonItem setTitle:@"Done"];
        [infoTable setEditing:YES animated:YES];
    }
}

Have fun...!!!

Inside my UIViewController derived class, I am using the following inside viewDidLoad:

UIBarButtonItem *flipButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] 
                               initWithTitle:@"Flip"                                            
                               style:UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered 
                               target:self 
                               action:@selector(flipView:)];
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = flipButton;
[flipButton release];

This adds a button to the right hand side with the title Flip, which calls the method:

-(IBAction)flipView

This looks very much like you #3, but it is working within my code.

To add search button on navigation bar use this code:

 UIBarButtonItem *searchButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemSearch target:self action:@selector(toggleSearch:)];
self.navigationController.navigationBar.topItem.rightBarButtonItem = searchButton;

and implement following method:

- (IBAction)toggleSearch:(id)sender
{
    // do something or handle Search Button Action.
}
