```

## Mentioned in

Adding a search interface to your app

## Overview

Overview You can give a preferred placement to any of the searchable modifiers, like searchable(text:placement:prompt:): var body: some View {     NavigationView {         PrimaryView()         SecondaryView()         Text("Select a primary and secondary item")     }     .searchable(text: $text, placement: .sidebar) } Depending on the containing view hierachy, SwiftUI might not be able to fulfill your request.
