Set Search Style = minimal in Search Bar properties in IB Or Swift: searchBar.searchBarStyle = UISearchBarStyleMinimal; Swift 3: searchBar.searchBarStyle = .minimal;

Putting the following line in the viewDidLoad fixed it for me: self.edgesForExtendedLayout = UIRectEdgeNone;
Just customize the text field itself. I am simply doing this and it works fine for me (iOS 7). UITextField *txfSearchField = [_searchBar valueForKey:@”_searchField”]; txfSearchField.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor]; This way you don’t need to create an image, size it, etc…
