There is delegate method in searchbar that can help you like:

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

Then you can use predicate to filter data

NSPredicate * predicate =  [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"(title CONTAINS[cd] %@), searchText];
self.displayedData = [NSMutableArray arrayWithArray:[self.allData filteredArrayUsingPredicate:predicate]];
