Question

I have an application in which i have an nsmutable array created like this .`

NSDictionary *memberInfo = [self.currentChannel infoForMemberWithID:memberID];

    for(int i=0;i<self.currentChannel.memberCount;i++)
    {
        [searchfriendarray addObject:memberInfo];   

    }

     NSLog(@"dfdfdfsear%@",searchfriendarray);

The response i am getting is this

dfdfdfsear(
        {
        name = baddd;
        status = "<null>";
    },
        {
        name = baddd;
        status = "<null>";
    }
)

`
Now i want to search an nsstring in this.with the method

- (void)searchBar:(UISearchBar *)searchBar textDidChange:(NSString *)searchText

Can anybody help me in implementing the search and load my tableview according to that?

Use NSPredicate to filter the array.

NSPredicate *filterPredicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"name contains[cd] %@", searchString];
[yourMutableArray filterUsingPredicate:filterPredicate];
