Starting from iOS 7, you can subclass UISearchBar and override this method like this:

- (BOOL)canPerformAction:(SEL)action withSender:(id)sender {
    [[NSOperationQueue mainQueue] addOperationWithBlock:^{
        [[UIMenuController sharedMenuController] setMenuVisible:NO animated:NO];
    }];
    return [super canPerformAction:action withSender:sender];
}

This will immediately hide the menu controller and doesn't require to parse UISearchBar subviews.

If you want to hide it only for UISeacrhBar then:

-(void)setGestures
{
    for (id obj in searchBar.subviews)
    {
        if ([obj isKindOfClass:[UITextField class]])
        {
            UITextField *textF = (UITextField *)obj;
            textF.gestureRecognizers = nil;
            UITapGestureRecognizer *tapGesture = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(makeSearchBarFirstResponder:)];
            textF.gestureRecognizers = @[tapGesture];
        }
    }
}

-(void)makeSearchBarFirstResponder:(UIGestureRecognizer *)sender
{
    [sender.view becomeFirstResponder];
}

And Call [self setGestures] method in 

-(void)viewDidLoad
{
   [self setGestures];
}
-(BOOL)searchBar:(UISearchBar *)searchBar shouldChangeTextInRange:(NSRange)range replacementText:(NSString *)text
{
   [self setGestures];
   return YES;
}

may be this code work for you..

first add notification 

[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(didShowMenu:) name:UIMenuControllerDidShowMenuNotification object:nil];

then implement notification method in which you can hide menu

-(void)didShowMenu:(NSNotification*) notification{
UIMenuController *menuCon = [UIMenuController sharedMenuController];
[menuCon setMenuVisible:FALSE];

}

Here you have to return NO for all the specific methods the menu controller performs.

-(BOOL)canPerformAction:(SEL)action withSender:(id)sender 
{
    if (action == @selector(defineSelection:))
    {
        return NO;
    }
    else if (action == @selector(translateSelection:))
    {
        return NO; 
    }
    else if (action == @selector(copy:))
    {
        return NO;
    }

    return [super canPerformAction:action withSender:sender];
}

Hope this helps .
