The UISearchDisplayController does owns its own tableview which not as easy to tame. I came across something like this and am still looking for a better solution.

-(void)searchDisplayControllerWillBeginSearch:(UISearchDisplayController *)controller
{
    [controller.searchResultsTableView setDelegate:self];   
    CGFloat gr = 12.0;
    controller.searchResultsTableView.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:gr green:gr blue:gr alpha:0.0];
    [controller.searchResultsTableView setSeparatorStyle:UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone];
    CGRect searchTableFrame = CGRectMake(7, 105, 305, 292);
    [controller.searchResultsTableView setFrame:searchTableFrame];
}

The above code does sets the background to transparent but seems to silently ignore the frame size.

EDIT:SOLVED I found the robust solution to this here. This saved my life.
