I add searchable to my SwiftUI List
But the search TextField isn't showing
Here's my code
NavigationView {
List(searchResults, id: \.self) { item in
NavigationLink {
LegendDetailView(item: item)
} label: {
HStack {
Text(item.name).padding(1)
Spacer()
Image(systemName: "chevron.right").imageScale(.small)
}
}
}
}.searchable(text: $searchText)
If you drag down the List, then searchBar will show. By default, the search bar is hidden under the navigation title and visible only when a user pulls down the content. Which is a bit confusing.
Start scrolling:
To change the behaviour, replace
.searchable(text: $searchText)
by
.searchable(text: $searchText, placement: .navigationBarDrawer(displayMode: .always))
Default mode is .automatic

pulling down wont work
Surprising, I tested, it worked. You have to drag the list down (that's what the screenshot tried to illustrate). Did you read the sarunw post ? Did you see the SwiftUI animation ?
Is it a MacOS app (you didn't tell).
Use is quite different on MacOS: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui/view/searchable(text:placement:)
