# searchToolbarBehavior(_:)

Configures the behavior for search in the toolbar.

```
nonisolated func searchToolbarBehavior(_ behavior: SearchToolbarBehavior) -> some View
```

## Discussion

This modifier can be used to change the default behavior of a search
field that appears in the toolbar. Place this modifier after the
[`searchable(text:isPresented:placement:prompt:)`](/documentation/SwiftUI/View/searchable(text:isPresented:placement:prompt:)) modifier that
renders search in the toolbar.

On iPhone, the search field in the bottom toolbar can be configured to
appear as a button-like control when inactive:

```
@State private var searchText = ""

NavigationStack {
    RecipeList()
        .searchable($searchText)
        .searchToolbarBehavior(.minimized)
}
```
