have you cleared search bar's background ? – Maulik Dec 30 '11 at 05:12

`searchBar.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];` does not help. – ohho Dec 30 '11 at 06:17

Just a tweak...
searchBar.layer.borderWidth = 1;
searchBar.layer.borderColor = [[UIColor whiteColor] CGColor];

I realize Legolas answer is old - but I stumbled upon the same problem, and now it seems there instead of a borderColor is a special view acting as a shadow which creates this effect.
The only way of fixing this is to search for a view called "_UISearchBarShadowView" and hide it.
It is a subview of a subview of searchDisplayController.searchResultsTableView and only exists after typing a character into the search bar. I fixed the problem with the code below.
(getSubviewByClass is a category of UIView I created to loop through views and find subviews by a string)
- (void)searchBar:(UISearchBar *)searchBar textDidChange:(NSString *)searchText {
[self performSelector:@selector(searchResultsTableShouldChange) withObject:nil afterDelay:0.0001];
}
- (void)searchResultsTableShouldChange {
[[self.view getSubviewByClass:@"_UISearchBarShadowView"] setHidden:YES];
}

There is no such thing like getSubviewByClass: method on UIView base class. – DZenBot Jan 04 '14 at 21:27

That's why I wrote about it in parentheses above the example code. It's a category I created to make it easier to do recursive searches in UIViews. – Filibustr Jan 09 '14 at 15:16

searchBar.backgroundImage = [UIImage new];
