Objective-C iPhone Programming Tutorial - UISearchBar

I show you a basic way to use a UISearchBar to filter the contents of a UITableView. This could be expanded upon to search through a large amount of data, and support a more complex search algorithm.

On a personal note, I apologize for not making a video in a few weeks. My computer has been running sluggishly since I installed Lion. Who would have guessed?

Your tutorial rocks!! Thank you very much. I have one question, how can I populate the allitems with different results linked to different viewControllers and how can I display them from the search results?

@ingenieromike Doing a task like this would require you to, at the least, create the necessary view controllers, and do some logic in a tableView:didSelectRowAtIndexP­ath:, or something like that. We actually have a tutorial on table views for this kind of stuff: watch?v=-ntpSA71LsY&feature=re­lated

how do you get that iPhone on you desktop?

[macheads101]

@YoyobobHippo That is the iOS Simulator, and it comes with the iPhone SDK.
