Strange UISearchDisplayController view offset behavior in iOS 7 when embedded in navigation bar

Question

I am building an iOS 7-only app. I am trying to set a UISearchDisplayController into the navigation bar.

I have it set up like this: In the storyboard, I added a \"

Answer 1

In my case, using storyboards, I had to check both Under Top Bars and Under Opaque Bars and leave Under Bottom Bars unchecked.

Answer 2

In my case, I actually had to uncheck all the Extended Edges boxes (essentially the same as programmatically setting Extended Edges to UIRectEdgeNone I believe) in my Storyboard in order to stop my search bar from offsetting itself. Thank you guys!

Answer 3

My problem was just Adjust scroll view inserts. After change to false I didn't have problem

Answer 4

I had very similar behavior happening. For me, the solution was to uncheck Extend Edges Under Top Bar in the storyboard settings for the parent view controller (I've turned off transparent navbars, not sure if that effects anything). If you're not using storyboard, you have to set [UIViewController edgesForExtendedLayout].

From the Apple docs:

This property is only applied to view controllers that are embedded in containers, such as UINavigationController or UITabBarController. View controllers set as the root view controller do not react to this property. Default value is UIRectEdgeAll.

definesPresentationContext = true

override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        searchController = UISearchController(searchResultsController: nil)
        searchController.searchResultsUpdater = self
        searchController.hidesNavigationBarDuringPresentation = false

        searchController.dimsBackgroundDuringPresentation = true
        searchController.searchBar.searchBarStyle = UISearchBarStyle.Prominent
        self.tableView.tableHeaderView = searchController.searchBar

        definesPresentationContext = true

or see UISearchBar presented by UISearchController in table header view animates too far when active

Answer 6

1. Go to storyboard.
2. Click on the view controller.
3. Go to attribute inspector under the ViewController section.
4. Set the Extend Edges section to be Under Top Bars and Under Opaque Bars.
5. Make sure to un-check Under Bottom Bars.
