Answer 1

you could set the NavigationPage.TitleView to achive the effect.

like in c# Code :

public TitleViewPage()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        var titleView = new SearchBar { HeightRequest = 44, WidthRequest = 300 };
        NavigationPage.SetTitleView(this, titleView);
    }

or in xaml :

<ContentPage xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms"
         xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
         x:Class="NavigationPageTitleView.TitleViewPage">
  <NavigationPage.TitleView>
    <SearchBar HeightRequest="44" WidthRequest="300" />
  </NavigationPage.TitleView>
   ...
</ContentPage>
