Search Icon in UISearchController is Cutoff

When I update the placeholder text in the UISearchController's search bar to something wider than the search bar, this happens to the search icon:

enter image description here

I added the UISearchController and search bar by calling the following method in viewDidLoad:

private func initSearchController() {

    searchResultsController = UITableViewController()
    searchResultsController.tableView.backgroundColor = UIColor(red: 51/255, green: 51/255, blue: 51/255, alpha: 1.0)
    searchController = UISearchController(searchResultsController: searchResultsController)
    searchResultsController.tableView.rowHeight = 50

    let textFieldInsideSearchBar = searchController.searchBar.valueForKey("searchField") as? UITextField
    textFieldInsideSearchBar?.textColor = UIColor.whiteColor()
    searchController.searchBar.sizeToFit()
    searchController.searchBar.placeholder = "SOL Southwest Kitchen & Tequila Bar"

    searchController.hidesNavigationBarDuringPresentation = false
    searchController.dimsBackgroundDuringPresentation = true
    searchController.searchBar.searchBarStyle = .Minimal
    navigationItem.titleView = searchController.searchBar
    definesPresentationContext = true

    searchController.searchResultsUpdater = self
    searchResultsController.tableView.dataSource = self
    searchResultsController.tableView.delegate = self
    searchController.searchBar.delegate = self

}

What gives? Also, anyway to remove that weird gap between the back button and the search bar? If it helps, this view is the second view controller in a Navigation Controller. Using iOS9 and Swift 2.1. Thanks!

It seems as though this is not possible unless a custom search bar is created with a button, image, and text field.
