Current behavior:
ion-searchbar has focus issues. Does not lose focus when touching other areas of the screen. Incidentally the keyboard stays up as well and persists through screen changes, effectively breaking the app.

Expected behavior:
The search bar should lose focus when other areas of the screen are touched. Further, the search bar should lose focus when transitioning screens.

Hello, thanks for using Ionic! We will look into this.

Any update on when these keyboard fixes will be released? The ion-searchbar is completely unusable on iOS without this (as well as a number of other keyboard related things).
