# searchFocused(_:) Modifies this view by binding the focus state of the search field associated with the nearest searchable modifier to the given Boolean value. ``` nonisolated func searchFocused(_ binding: FocusState.Binding) -> some View ``` ## Parameters `binding` The focus state to bind. When focus moves to the associated search field, the binding sets the bound value to `true`. If a caller sets the value to `true` programmatically, then focus moves to the search field. When focus leaves the search field, the binding sets the value to `false`. If a caller sets the value to `false`, SwiftUI automatically dismisses focus. ## Return Value The modified view. ## Discussion To control focus by matching a non-boolean value, use the [`searchFocused(_:equals:)`](/documentation/SwiftUI/View/searchFocused(_:equals:)) modifier instead. For more information about using searchable modifiers, refer to [Adding a search interface to your app](/documentation/SwiftUI/Adding-a-search-interface-to-your-app). --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
