UISearchBar background appearance

I want my search bar to look like this:

enter image description here

this is how i created the search bar:

    search = [[UISearchBar alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 308, 27)];
    search.delegate = self;
    search.center = CGPointMake(self.frame.size.width/2, 10 +search.frameHeight/2);
    search.placeholder = NSLocalizedString(@"search foods you like or dislike", nil);
    search.backgroundImage = nil;
    search.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];

but this is what i get :

enter image description here
