Search Bar in a table view

Question

I have a tableView application with a searchBar showing a array with a list of groceries. After a search is made the user click on the grocery and send to a second tableview. That is working fine, the problem is:
In the next (second) table view with the information about the grocery the searchBar still there and the keyboard as well.
How can I dismiss the keyboard and the searchBar that should not appear in the second table view. Any help is more than welcome :)

    class DictionaryTableViewController: UITableViewController, UISearchResultsUpdating
     {
        var searchController:UISearchController!
        var searchResults:[Dictionary] = []

        var dictionaries:[Dictionary] =[
         Dictionary (word: "grocery1", definition: "this is the grocery1 definition"),
         Dictionary (word: "grocery2", definition: "this is the grocery2 definition"),
         Dictionary (word: "grocery3", definition: "this is the grocery3 definition"),
         Dictionary (word: "grocery4", definition: "this is the grocery4 definition"),

When you are using a searchController, you can just deactivate it when you are leaving the screen. Just insert self.searchController.active = false

You can do it at viewWillDisappear or prepareForSegue . It would look something like this

override func prepareForSegue(segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: AnyObject?) {
    if segue.identifier == "showDictionaryDetail" {
        if let indexPath = tableView.indexPathForSelectedRow {
            let destinationController = segue.destinationViewController as! DictionaryDetailViewController
            destinationController.dictionary = (searchController.active) ? searchResults[indexPath.row] : dictionaries[indexPath.row]
            self.searchController.active = false
        }
    }
}
