I have a UISearchBar and UISearchDisplayController, everything works great but my scope selector displays beside the text field instead of below it. I know that this is the expected action when the device is in landscape, but since I have the UISearchBar in the master view of a UISplitViewController it ends up looking like this:

UISearchBar problem

    This is not part of the public API. Hopefully it will be added in the future. It can be accomplished using Private APIs, looking through a UIKit class dump will help you there.
