resize UISearchDisplayController dimmed black overlay

Question

anybody know how to resize the dimmed black overly, once you clicked the search bar ?

i having problem when i clicked cancelled the tableview will expend then animated t

Answer 1

I combined several answers in order to move the dimmed overlay frame.

1: override UISearchDisplayController class

@interface MySearchController : UISearchDisplayController

2: override setActive function

- (void)setActive:(BOOL)visible animated:(BOOL)animated
{
[super setActive: visible animated: animated];

//move the dimming part down
for (UIView *subview in self.searchContentsController.view.subviews) {
    //NSLog(@"%@", NSStringFromClass([subview class]));
    if ([subview isKindOfClass:NSClassFromString(@"UISearchDisplayControllerContainerView")])
    {
        CGRect frame = subview.frame;
        frame.origin.y += 10;
        subview.frame = frame;
    }
}

}

3: change the xib/storyboard Search Display Controller from UISearchDisplayController to MySearchController
