You need to use UISearchDisplayController, that will hide navigation bar automatically for you. Here is the code,

-(void) createSearchBar
{
     _searchBar          = [[SearchBar alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, self.view.frame.size.width, 44)];
     _searchBar.delegate = self;
     [self.view addSubview:_searchBar];

    searchDisplayController = [[UISearchDisplayController alloc] initWithSearchBar:_searchBar contentsController:self];
    searchDisplayController.delegate = self;
    searchDisplayController.searchResultsDataSource = self;
    searchDisplayController.searchResultsDelegate = self;
    searchDisplayController.searchResultsTableView.sectionHeaderHeight = 10;
    searchDisplayController.searchResultsTableView.sectionFooterHeight = 0;
    [searchDisplayController.searchResultsTableView setSeparatorColor:[Color whiteColor]];  
}

You will have to implement protocols UISearchBarDelegate, UISearchDisplayDelegate, UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource in .h file.

also _searchBar & searchDisplayController are variables defined in .h file.
