Ok, I finally have the solution, but simultaneously I know that it isn't the best solution.
- (BOOL)searchDisplayController:(UISearchDisplayController *)controller shouldReloadTableForSearchString:(NSString *)searchString {
CGRect newFrame = [self.view.superview convertRect:self.searchDisplayController.searchResultsTableView.superview.superview.frame toView:nil];
UIWindow *window = [UIApplication sharedApplication].keyWindow;
self.searchDisplayController.searchResultsTableView.superview.superview.frame = CGRectMake(0, -40, self.tableView.frame.size.width, window.bounds.size.height - newFrame.origin.y);
return YES;
}
and
- (BOOL)searchBarShouldBeginEditing:(UISearchBar *)searchBar {
CGRect newFrame = [self.view.superview convertRect:self.searchDisplayController.searchResultsTableView.superview.superview.frame toView:nil];
UIWindow *window = [UIApplication sharedApplication].keyWindow;
self.searchDisplayController.searchResultsTableView.superview.superview.frame = CGRectMake(0, 4, self.tableView.frame.size.width, window.bounds.size.height - newFrame.origin.y);
return YES;
}
and finally for content size:
- (void)searchDisplayController:(UISearchDisplayController *)controller didHideSearchResultsTableView:(UITableView *)tableView {
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self name:UIKeyboardWillHideNotification object:nil];
}
- (void)searchDisplayController:(UISearchDisplayController *)controller willShowSearchResultsTableView:(UITableView *)tableView {
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(keyboardWillHide) name:UIKeyboardWillHideNotification object:nil];
}
- (void) keyboardWillHide {
UITableView *tableView = [[self searchDisplayController] searchResultsTableView];
[tableView setContentInset:UIEdgeInsetsZero];
[tableView setScrollIndicatorInsets:UIEdgeInsetsZero];
}
