iOS 26 Floating Search Tab in UIKit

Does anyone have any documentation for how to achieve the floating search tab item in UIKit apps that use UITabBarController?

The Liquid Glass UIKit video had code for minimizing the tab bar on scroll down, but I didn't see anything on keeping the search button locked to the bottom trailing edge (as in this screenshot below).

Just create your searchVC as UIsearchTab like this and it will automatically separate the search tab from the tab bar. And to automatically minimize on scroll up/down just put if #available(iOS 26.0, *) { searchTab.automaticallyActivatesSearch = true self.tabBarMinimizeBehavior = .onScrollUp }

please check this out

Thanks for the suggestions! Will try these out this week.
