Two bugs I remember:

1. Tapping on top of the screen usually scrolls the table view back to the top.
This did not happen when a filtered list was displayed.

2. Rotating the phone messed up the position of the search field.


> How are you adding the search controller’s searchBar to the table view?

When I used UISearchController I created it in my subclass of UITableViewController:

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
	[super viewDidLoad];
	ResultsTableController *resultsController = [[ResultsTableController alloc] init];//UITableViewController
	resultsController.tableView.delegate = self;			//	default = resultsController

	UISearchController *searchCntr = [[UISearchController alloc] initWithSearchResultsController: resultsController];
	searchCntr.delegate = self;								//	UISearchControllerDelegate
	searchCntr.searchResultsUpdater = self;					//	UISearchResultsUpdating
	searchCntr.dimsBackgroundDuringPresentation = NO; 		// 	default is YES
	self.searchController = searchCntr;

	UISearchBar *searchBar = searchCntr.searchBar;
	searchBar.delegate = self;								//	UISearchBarDelegate
	searchBar.scopeButtonTitles = @[ @"Starts", @"Contains", @"Content" ];
	self.tableView.tableHeaderView = searchBar;

	self.definesPresentationContext = YES;
}

Gerriet.
