How to dismiss UISearchBar once segued - ios

Question

Creating a search view, this is the code that i did for the main search view.
What happens is if i dont search/filter, the uisearchbar gets dismissed when segueing. but if i search/filter then the uisearchbar stays on the nav bar when seguing.
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
// There's no transition in our storyboard to our search results tableview or navigation controller
// so we'll have to grab it using the instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier: method
UINavigationController *searchResultsController = [[self storyboard] instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"CompanySearchResultsNavigationController"];
// Our instance of UISearchController will use searchResults
self.searchController = [[UISearchController alloc] initWithSearchResultsController:searchResultsController];
// The searchcontroller's searchResultsUpdater property will contain our tableView.
self.searchController.searchResultsUpdater = self;
self.searchController.hidesNavigationBarDuringPresentation = NO;
// The searchBar contained in XCode's storyboard is a leftover from UISearchDisplayController.
// Don't use this. Instead, we'll create the searchBar programatically.
self.searchController.searchBar.frame = CGRectMake(self.searchController.searchBar.frame.origin.x, self.searchController.searchBar.frame.origin.y, self.searchController.searchBar.frame.size.width, 44.0);
self.navigationItem.titleView = self.searchController.searchBar;
self.definesPresentationContext = YES;
}

} else {

// Else if the airline's name is
for (PFObject *company in self.objects) {
if ([company[#"username"] containsString:companyName]) {
// NSString *str = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#", company[#"username"]];
// [searchResults addObject:str];
PFObject *searchedObject = company;
[searchResults addObject:searchedObject];
NSLog(#"Searched: %#",searchedObject[#"username"]);
}
self.searchResults = searchResults;
}
}

In your AirlineTableViewController, override [UIViewController prepareForSegue]:
- (void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue
sender:(id)sender {
[self.searchController setActive:NO];
}
