I think it's better just set all properties of UISearchBar when it is loaded.

@interface MySearchBar : UISearchBar

@end


@implementation MySearchBar

- (id)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame
{
    self = [super initWithFrame:frame];
    if (self) {
        [self myInitialize];
    }
    return self;
}

-(void)awakeFromNib

{
    [super awakeFromNib];
    [self myInitialize];
}

-(void)myInitialize
{
    self.backgroundImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"image.png"];

    for (UIView* subview in self.subviews) {
        if ([subview isKindOfClass:[UITextField class]]) {
            //customize text field
            UITextField* textfield = (UITextField*) subview;
        }
    }
}

@end
