# didDismissSearchController(_:)

Notifies the delegate when the system completes automatic dismissal of the search controller.

## Declaration

```swift
optional func didDismissSearchController(_ searchController: UISearchController)
```

## Parameters

- `searchController`: The doc://com.apple.uikit/documentation/UIKit/UISearchController object to dismiss.

## Discussion

Discussion The system only calls this method when it automatically dismisses the search controller. The system doesn’t call this method if you explicitly dismiss the search controller.
