Question

This is my current search code.

-(void)filterContentForSearchText:(NSString *)searchText scope:(NSString *)scope {
    [filteredList removeAllObjects];         
    for(Location *item in list)
    {
        NSRange result = [item.title rangeOfString:searchText options:NSCaseInsensitiveSearch range:NSMakeRange(0, [searchText length])];
        if(result.location != NSNotFound)
        {
            [filteredList addObject:item];
        }
    }
}

How would I change this to match any part of the title and not just the start.

Example:

At the moment if I search for ‘Las’, ‘Las Vegas’ will appear in the list, but when I search for ‘Vegas’ it does not.

I want the search term ‘Vegas’ to come back with ‘Las Vegas’

Thanks,
Ashley

Use rangeOfString:options: instead of rangeOfString:options:range:. It is the range parameter that restricts the search to the beginning of the string.

Or if for some reason you want to use rangeOfString:options:range: then use this as range: NSMakeRange(0, [item.title length])
