Hope this helps.

[searchBar setBackgroundImage:[UIImage new]];

Will also work in iOS 7.1

I have used this code. It completely removed the tint around the search text bar.

for (id v in [self.search subviews]) {
        if (![v isKindOfClass:NSClassFromString(@"UISearchBarTextField")]) {
            [v setAlpha:0.0f];
            [v setHidden:YES];
        }
        else {
            [v setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
        }

    }

Here's how I customized the UISearchBar

if ([[[searchBar subviews] objectAtIndex:0] isKindOfClass:[UIImageView class]]){
    [[[searchBar subviews] objectAtIndex:0] removeFromSuperview];
}

This removes the background bar style.

You can then add any custom subview you want.

Try this

[searchBar setTranslucent:YES];

Also, don't set the tintColor when using translucent
