Answer 1

That being said, it might be possible to make your own view that looks and works like a UIToolbar that does allow a UISearchBar.

Solution is that Use a navigation bar instead of a toolbar. Set the search bar to the navigation bar's title view.

Or Yu can add it Programmatically

self.searchBar.frame = CGRectMake(70, 3, 230, 44);
    UIToolbar  * searchToolbar = [[UIToolbar alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,0+20,[self view].bounds.size.width,52)];
     UIBarButtonItem *flexibleSpace = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemFlexibleSpace target:nil action:nil];
    UIBarButtonItem *infoButtonItem=[[UIBarButtonItem alloc]initWithTitle:@"Update" style:UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered  target:self action:@selector(infoButtonClicked)];

    UIBarButtonItem  * searchBarButtonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:self.searchBar];

    [searchToolbar setItems:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:flexibleSpace,infoButtonItem,searchBarButtonItem, nil] animated:YES];

    [self.view addSubview:searchToolbar];
