How can I change the UISearchBar search text color?


How can I change the text color of a UISearchBar?


Solution

  • You have to access the UITextField inside the UISearchBar. You can do that by using valueForKey("searchField")

    var textFieldInsideSearchBar = yourSearchbar.valueForKey("searchField") as? UITextField
    
    textFieldInsideSearchBar?.textColor = yourcolor
    

    Swift 3 update

    let textFieldInsideSearchBar = yourSearchbar.value(forKey: "searchField") as? UITextField
    
    textFieldInsideSearchBar?.textColor = yourcolor
