Question

How can I style the UITableViewCells displayed in the search results for the “Search Bar + Search Display Controller” option?

My table cells have a custom height, background font etc. However the table cells displayed in the search results have the default height etc.

Answer 1

if you just want to set the height, you can modify directly over the property rowHeight of your UITableView

tableView.rowHeight = 60;

if you need different heights depending on your data: add a UITableViewDelegate Implementation

{
    //...
    tableView.delegate = self;
}

- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    // ask your data what height they have
    return 60;
}
