Please check out this code

 - (BOOL)searchDisplayController:(UISearchDisplayController *)controller shouldReloadTableForSearchString:(NSString *)searchString
{
    NSMutableArray *array=[[NSMutableArray alloc]init];
    NSDictionary *naming= [self.friendsDictionary objectForKey:@"data"];
    NSLog(@"ggg %@",[self.friendsDictionary objectForKey:@"data"]);
    for(int i =0 ; i< [[self.friendsDictionary objectForKey:@"data"] count]; i++){
        [array addObject:[[[self.friendsDictionary objectForKey:@"data"] objectAtIndex:i] objectForKey:@"name"]];
    }
    NSLog(@"Array %@", array);

    if(self.searchDisplayController.searchBar.text.length>0) 
    {
        NSString *strSearchText = self.searchDisplayController.searchBar.text;
        NSMutableArray *group = [[NSMutableArray alloc]init];
        for (int i=0; i<array.count; i++) {

            NSString *strData = [array objectAtIndex:i]; 
              NSLog(@"string Data:%@",strData);
            NSRange rng = [strData rangeOfString:strSearchText options:NSCaseInsensitiveSearch];
            if(rng.location != NSNotFound)
            {
                if(rng.location== 0)//that is we are checking only the start of the names.
                {
                    [group addObject:strData]; 
                }
            }
        }
        if ([group count] > 0) 
        {
    searchData = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
            [searchData addObjectsFromArray:group];
            NSLog(@"Sear %@", searchData);

        }
    } 
    return YES;
