Answer 1

I'm not sure how to left-align the placeholder, but as of iOS 5.0 there's a simple, supported way to modify the search bar's text field properties, e.g.:

[[UITextField appearanceWhenContainedIn:[UISearchBar class], nil] setLeftViewMode:UITextFieldViewModeNever];

which will hide the magnifying glass icon.

Answer 2

    UITextField *txfSearchField = [looksearchbar valueForKey:@"_searchField"];
    [txfSearchField setBackgroundColor:[UIColor whiteColor]];
    [txfSearchField setLeftViewMode:UITextFieldViewModeNever];
    [txfSearchField setRightViewMode:UITextFieldViewModeNever];
    [txfSearchField setBackground:[UIImage imageNamed:@"searchbar_bgImg.png"]];
    [txfSearchField setBorderStyle:UITextBorderStyleNone];
    //txfSearchField.layer.borderWidth = 8.0f;
    //txfSearchField.layer.cornerRadius = 10.0f;
    txfSearchField.layer.borderColor = [UIColor clearColor].CGColor;
    txfSearchField.clearButtonMode=UITextFieldViewModeNever;

You could try:

searchBar.setImage(UIImage(named: "yourimage")!, forSearchBarIcon: UISearchBarIcon.Clear, state: UIControlState.Normal)
