Question

I have to search a word in an array using UISearchBar. for example i have “Chicken Salad” string in an array at index 2. now if want to search it using last word “Salad” then what should i do?
for the time i am using this code and it is working good but if you search from first word.

(appDelegate.isAirlineSelection == YES) {
            for (int i = 0; i < [menuArray count]; i++) {
                if ([[[[menuArray objectAtIndex:i] itemName] uppercaseString] hasPrefix:search]||[[[[menuArray objectAtIndex:i] itemName] uppercaseString] hasSuffix:search]) {
                    [tableMenuArray addObject:[menuArray objectAtIndex:i]];
                    NSLog(@"Found");
                }
            }

Kindly help me

try this way, It’ll search even between the words:

for(NSString *name in menuArray)        
{
    if ([name rangeOfString:search options:NSLiteralSearch|NSCaseInsensitiveSearch].location != NSNotFound)
        [tableMenuArray addObject:name];
            NSLog(@"Found");

}
