ion-searchbar should have an option to always show the back button

[cleever]

Short description of the problem:

ion-searchbar should have an option to always show the back button.

What behavior are you expecting?

Like the Whatsapp/Instagram behavior on their search contact modals.

Which Ionic Version? 1.x or 2.x

Ionic 2.x

@cleever Can you share a screenshot? I don't know what you mean? WhatsApp for iOS uses the same searchbar than ionic.

[cleever]

Since we don't have automatic focus on search bar component on Ionic, the back button/Cancel only shows when user give the focus to the search bar. Which is bad for modals.

On Android, whatsapp opens a search modal focused in search bar with back button.

If the user scrolls the list and search bar loses focus, back button remains shown.

Try to use the following CSS:

.searchbar-ios-cancel{
    margin-right: 0px !important;
    opacity: 1!important;
    padding-left: 10px !important;
}
.searchbar-md .searchbar-md-cancel{
    display: inline-flex !important;
    background-color: white !important;
}
.searchbar-search-icon{
    display: none;
}

It worked for me!!
