Reset text in textfield of UISearchBar when X button is clicked, but not resign firstresponder

I have a view with a UISearchBar in it. However, when the "X" button in the searchbar is clicked, it removes the keyboard but doesn't remove the text in the textfield of the searchbar. What I want is this: When the user clicks the x button, the text in the textfield is reset but the keyboard stays up.

How can I do this?

Just set the text to nil in searchBarCancelButtonClicked delegate method :

searchBar.text = nil;

This seems to do the trick for me. Make sure your View Controller is a UISearchBarDelegate

- (void)searchBarCancelButtonClicked:(UISearchBar *)searchBar
{
    searchBar.text = @"";
}

try implementing UISearchBarDelegate's method -(BOOL)searchBarShouldEndEditing:(UISearchBar *)searchBar and return NO as the result.

E.g.:

    - (BOOL)searchBarShouldEndEditing:(UISearchBar *)searchBar
    {
        return NO;
    }
