Just in case someone is still struggling to stick search bar to dark mode, Just add this

self.navigationItem.searchController?.searchBar.overrideUserInterfaceStyle
= .dark

You can use barStyle property of UISearchBar , if you are using story board you can use Attribute Inspector to change bar style, or use following code segment. It might help mate :)

categorySearchBar.barStyle = UIBarStyle.Black
