I’m using a UISearchDisplayController with a UISearchBar. I put this UISearchBar in my app using IB and I get :

Fine : when you start taping, the result popovercontroller appears magically (I didn’t write anything on my own to make it appear !)

Then, when a row is clicked among the result, I want to dismiss the PopoverController BUT at this stage, I never instantiated the UIPopoverController on my side : it looks like if there’s an encapsulated behavior in the UISearchDisplayController that automatically wraps its searchContentsController inside a UIPopoverController. That’s really great because everything works perfectly without doing anything except that I cannot get the reference to this UIPopoverController to dismiss it 🙁

Does anyone know how to get the reference to this “magically” created UIPopoverController ?
 (this is the proof the iPad is really a “magical” device 😉

I thought there would be a reference to the UIPopoverController from its contentController (through its parent property for instance), but I cannot find any way to get a pointer to it :/

    Does [searchDisplayController setActive:NO animated:YES]; not work then?
