iOS 13 strange search controller gap

FYI I filed a bug report to apple - according to [the WWDC presentation that describes the newly re-written SearchController and some other UI updates][1], it sounds like the architecture of the SearchController has been re-written from the ground up. ***I can't believe that this gap we are seeing is expected behavior*** - I've wasted the better part of two days trying to move past this, and I'm not bothering any further - my app store app is a free app that has a number of users and I wasn't able to devote time to tracking changes/behavior in the API during the beta period, I'm somewhat tired of Apple doing this kind of thing on a yearly basis.

You must set yours navigationBar.standardAppearance to an UINavigationBarAppearance object that describes a white background.

if #available(iOS 13.0, *) {
let appearance = UINavigationBarAppearance()
appearance.backgroundColor = .white
self.navigationController?.navigationBar.standardAppearance = appearance
}

`extendedLayoutIncludesOpaqueBars = true` did help to some extent.

Along with this, I had to update

`navigationController?.navigationBar.prefersLargeTitles = false`

when we start searching and set it back to `true` when search bar is dismissed.

Setting
```
extendedLayoutIncludesOpaqueBars = true
```

in the `UIViewController` used to show the search results, fixed the issue for me.

We had the same issue and the solution was to set **Under Opaque Bars** (since we use opaque bars) [![Under Opaque Bars][1]][1]

We already had Top and Bottom checked, adding the third moved the search results controller to the correct location.
