Can the height of the UISearchbar TextField be modified?

    override func viewDidAppear(animated: Bool) {
        super.viewDidAppear(animated)
        for subView in searchBars.subviews  {
            for subsubView in subView.subviews  {
                if let textField = subsubView as? UITextField {
                     var bounds: CGRect
                bounds = textField.frame
                bounds.size.height = 35 //(set height whatever you want)
                    textField.bounds = bounds
                    textField.borderStyle = UITextBorderStyle.RoundedRect
//                    textField.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizing.FlexibleWidth | UIViewAutoresizing.FlexibleHeight
                    textField.backgroundColor = UIColor.redColor()
//                    textField.font = UIFont.systemFontOfSize(20)
                }
            }
        }

    }

This might helps you 🙂
