Hi guys I am working on an new App using UITableView and a UISearchBar in Swift and it's already working fine. But since the final project must have a complete customized searchbar, I had to move to UITextField as the input Outlet because of the customization possibilities. The problem is that I just can't figure out how to code so that the UITextField behaves like a UISearchBar.

Any reference or code is very useful for me. try this : self.mySearchController.searchBar.endEditing(true)

When we tap on the UISearchBar , a keyboard will appear to enter text. The return key of the keyboard is " Search " button. It will disabled by default. When we enter a character, It will get enabled. (Am I right?) Here the problem comes.. I want to enable the UISearchBar keyboard's return key when the user types atleast two letters. Is it possible?
