ModernSearchBar | famous iOS search bar with auto completion feature | Autocomplete library

So found a relatively easy solution - the file ModernSearchBar.swift in the library has a function called configureViews() that sets the attributes of the UITableView (which is the the suggestions list). I edited the searchBar(_ searchBar: UISearchBar, textDidChange searchText: String) function and added this line if self.suggestionsView.frame.height == 0.0 { self.configureViews() } to it. This worked, ie, the suggestions list view also got updated to the UISearchBar's top position as expected. And it also does not update the position multiple times because of the frame height constraint.

Update: Another issue I ran into was that if I searched for a word and returned to the previous page, the search results view would move up slightly every time and started covering the UISearchBar section and then went out of the view. The problem got solved after I removed the code to update suggestion list size in keyboardWillShow(notification: NSNotification) function in the same file. Not sure about the reason for this but now it works fine on the phone as well as simulator.
