In iOS 7 most of Apple's apps now use the default search bar behavior. Unsurprisingly, the default search bar behavior is the only one that works fine without any modifications when compiled against the iOS 7 SDK.
This demo project won't be updated to support iOS 7, but I'll gladly accept pull requests.
TableViewSearchBar is a small demo project that demonstrates the various scrolling behaviors of a UISearchBar inside a UITableView found in Apple's own apps.
The project has been made in order to answer this stackoverflow question.
There are three different behaviors in Apple's apps:
- Default: The search bar scrolls with the table view
- Top: The search bar scrolls with the table view but always stays at the top if you scroll the table view up
- Header: The search bar usually stays at the top of the table view but scrolls with the table view if you scroll the table view up
The last one is only used in the Contacts app and is quite interesting. Take a look at FKRHeaderSearchBarTableViewController.m in order to see how it works in detail.
