How to dismiss keyboard on UISearchBar touchesBegan in swift 4

I have searched items in table view using UISearchBarDelegate. I have set search bar variable's delegate to self like so

searchBar.delegate = self

touchesBegan function I have used to hide keyboard.

  override func touchesBegan(_ touches: Set<UITouch>,
                           with event: UIEvent?) {
    self.view.endEditing(true)
}

When i touch any where other than search bar, it doesn't get triggered. Although same thing is working fine with UITextField.

(BOOL)searchBarShouldBeginEditing:(UISearchBar *)searchBar This delegate method will help you to perform the above task.

- (BOOL)searchBarShouldBeginEditing:(UISearchBar *)searchBar{
      return NO; // return NO to not become first responder
      }

Maybe try:

searchBar.endEditing(true)

or even better:

searchBar.resignFirstResponder()

Edit:

Now that you explained what your issue is, here's what you can do:

func searchBarTextDidBeginEditing(sender: UISearchBar) {
     self.tableView.userInteractionEnabled=false
}

And then just reenable on searchBarTextDidEndEditing.

Otherwise what you could do is actually adding the gesture recognizer to the tableView as such:

let tapGesture = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(dismissKeyboard))
tableView.addGestureRecognizer(tapGesture)
