Question

I have a table view which has section indexes enabled. All the indexes are showing properly, however I can’t get the search icon to actually respond. The picture on the left shows as high as the table will scroll after using the section index scroll bar on the right, but it should show up with the right hand side design. Any help would be much appreciated!!

I’ve always done custom scrolling for the search bar in this case and returned -1 from the delegate method.

My tableView:sectionForSectionIndexTitle:atIndex: looks like this – not sure if there’s a better way, though:

- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tv sectionForSectionIndexTitle:(NSString *)title atIndex:(NSInteger)index {
    NSInteger section = -1;
    if ([title isEqualToString:UITableViewIndexSearch]) {
        CGRect searchBarFrame = self.searchDisplayController.searchBar.frame;
        [tv scrollRectToVisible:searchBarFrame animated:NO];
    }
    else {
        section = whatever logic you use to determine section
    }
    return section;
}

BTW, this is using a the searchDisplayController property.
