and I need this

I have to create border or set it by image

Answer 1

To add borders use the views layer property.

self.searchBar.layer.borderColor = UIColor.blueColor().CGColor
self.searchBar.layer.borderWidth = 1

If you want to add the corner radius to the searchBar:

self.searchBar.layer.cornerRadius = 3.0
self.searchBar.clipsToBounds = true

To change the searchIcon call the following method on the searchbar:

self.searchbar.setImage(image, icon: UISearchBarIcon. UISearchBarIcon.Search, state: UIControlState.Normal)

To change the cross:

self.searchbar.setImage(image, icon: UISearchBarIcon. UISearchBarIcon.Clear, state: UIControlState.Normal)

Answer 2

For the border, select your UITextField in story board, then, in the attributes inspector, choose the border style.
