    <p>You are correct that it is the UISearchDisplayController that is managing the "dimming" effect that you're seeing. </p> <p>What the UISearchDisplayController is doing is adding a UIControl as a subview to the view of the searchContentsController (a property of UISearchDisplayController), which is likely your detail-view controller. This UIControl is just an alpha'd view with a gray background. It seems to have a touch-up-inside event handler that ends searching when tapped.</p> <p>To constrain the dimming effect to your sub-view of the detail-view, you need to do three things. (I'm assuming your detail-view-controller is defined via a xib. If not, these steps can be done in code too.)</p> <p>1) add a new UIViewController to your detail-view-controller xib. Attach this new view-controller to an IBOutlet of your detail-view-controller. In my example I call this "_searchAreaViewController". This is important, even if you wont ever access the view controller (but remember, you'll have to release it at some point)</p> <pre><code>@interface DetailViewController : UIViewController &lt;UIPopoverControllerDelegate, UISplitViewControllerDelegate, UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource&gt; { UIPopoverController *popoverController; UIToolbar *toolbar; id detailItem; UILabel *detailDescriptionLabel; IBOutlet UIViewController* _searchAreaViewController; } </code></pre> <p>2) make the containing view for your search area the view of this new view-controller. To do this, use Interface Builder to set a new referencing outlet for this view by dragging the outlet to the searchAreaViewController and selecting the "view" outlet. You must have a containing view - it should be a subview of your detail-view, and it should contain the UISearchBar and likely your UITableView.</p> <p>3) make the searchContentsController property of the UISearchDisplayController refer to this new view controller instead of the detail-view-controller. This can only be done via Interface Builder as the property is read-only (IB has some magic to make this work?) If you need to do this step via code you'll have to subclass the UISearchDisplayController and return the correct value from a property override of "searchContentsController".</p> <p>I made a sample app to demonstrate this and the only line of code I had to add to the SplitView template was the one listed in step 1 above. Everything else was just adding the views/controllers and connecting them properly in IB.</p> <p>good luck!</p>
