• Stumbled across a solution. Set the 'search' property of the tableView after the tableView has been added to the window. Scrolls without first having to interact with the search bar.

  var win = Titanium.UI.createWindow();
  
  var search = Titanium.UI.createSearchBar({
      barColor:'#385292', 
      showCancel:false,
      hintText:'search'
  });
  
  var yourTableView = Titanium.UI.createTableView({
      data:data,
      searchHidden:false
  });
  
  win.add(yourTableView);
  yourTableView.search = search;
  

  Hope that helps you out…

• I have the same issue here, did you find any fix for it?

• Same problem here.. no solution?

• try this:

  var tableview = Titanium.UI.createTableView({
      search:search,
      searchHidden:false,
      scrollable: true
  });
  

• It seems to be a problem with the Titanium SDK that has not been fixed since before 1.5.0. I'm still waiting for a fix for this. I seemed to "hack" this by quickly focusing then blurring the search bar (Or simply just focusing it and leaving it), which causes the TableView to become scrollable again.

• Simply commenting out searchHidden:false worked for me. - If you can be without it.

• Standard info, first:

  Titanium Studio, build: 1.0.2.201107130739
  Use: iOS and Android Development

  The issue I am having with the iPhone and the search bar is that when I scroll down, I cannot seem to keep the search bar in a fixed position without sacrificing the user's ability to scroll.

  The goal is to keep the search bar up top and fixed. Would I be correct to say I need to create a View spot for it (all on it's own) within the Window I have?

  Thnx!
