How to stop your UISearchController bar hiding when you scroll
Swift version: 5.0
You can embed a search controller right into any view controller that’s inside a UINavigationController using code like this:
navigationItem.searchController = yourSearchControllerHowever, when your view controller happens to be a scrolling one – most commonly a table view or a collection view – the search bar will automatically hide itself along with your content.

navigationItem.hidesSearchBarWhenScrolling = falseLEARN SWIFTUI FOR FREE I wrote a massive, free SwiftUI tutorial collection, and also have a growing list of free SwiftUI tutorials on YouTube – get started today!
