Thank you Sheldon for tutorial . Very well explained

[jordiaguilar]

Thanks a lot. Great tutorial and very well explained.

Excellent tutorial!

Two things to make it better:
1. Point out that he outlet for searchBar cannot be "weak", or the first method to keep the search bar at the top will not work.
2. Need to have a way to dismiss the keyboard when done searching - I added a tap gesture handler which calls

Great tutorial, works like a charm also in swift 5.. but I was wondering how to handle this in the DidSelectRowAtIndexPath? To perform a segue with identifier to a whole new ViewController.. coz if I approach it with “if indexpath.row == 0, performsegue, then it’s crashing. Can you help and show some code to handle it?

Hi Sheldon! Great video! Do you have anything like implementing a searchbar in a tableview with multiple sections? Impossible to find a good one! Thanks in advance and keep up the good work! :)

Hi Sheldon, The video is very helpful! This is the only video that have so much detail. Thank you very much!

[MattMontanez]

Thank you. This is by far the best and most thorough tutorial on this. Helped me a lot on what I needed done. Took me 3 days to find this video and it was exactly what I needed

If the searchBar is put inside the header, when you call reloadData, the keyboard hides, as it destroys the searchBar and builds it again. Any workaround this?

Great video! I had a question: For the searchBar to stay on top of the header when you're scrolling, instead of manually setting it in code, couldn't you put the UISearchBar out of the TableView and on top of it in the View Hierarchy? Thanks

[aniltodkar]

if we want to search only that string which start with search text then how to do this.
Thank you for your this tutorial.

Hi, thank you for the tutorial, I have a problem around minutes 7-8 because Xcode tells me that I have no Initializers, but you do not seem to have either so I do not understand. Thank you.

Hello brother..
I have a problem and I want to help me with it
Activate the search bar in my program
I thought my program is saving a user and the numbers and other information and I want a search bar looking for numbers I could not
Several offices were used, including Realm and Core data
SQLite
I could not find a way
Can you help me to learn it

[raghibmusarrat]

What about those warnings? Aren't you going to have problems because of them?

[CastilloJA]

Excellent Tutorial, I was wondering if you hace a tutorial in how to turn the table view cells into buttons, and make them trigger a new view controller showing the info from the table plus adicional information.

[pimpingsrable]

Neither methods to add the searchBar at the top didn't work for me, I had to change the "estimatedHeaderHeight" to table.sectionHeaderHeight =100 . This lead to me being able to keep the scopeBar visible, this was a very detailed tutorial "Thank You",

[mrj]

This is the awesome tutorial video
But I just wondering how could I do in my case that the UITable inside container view and the search bar is on the segmented view

[felixalvarez]

Hi, Sheldon.
The tutorial is very good, very detailed. I'm new to this, and I'm doing a project, which, this part was easy with Android, because with the tool "AutoCompleteTextView", you only need an array and the desired data is filtered, the "onClick" is implemented and now we have the data selected to work on the next view, or wherever you want. In Xcode Swift I did not find this, and the table and the search bar must be implemented, from here I can not make the filtered data go to the second screen, and I can work with it.
If you could provide the code to do this, from this tutorial.
Thank you so much

This video is good but the search project is not quite complete. Should be able to automatically search by searchText by changing scope

[mikelai]

Is it possible to link (or segue) the listed items to a new storyboard?

[vipera]

How can I hide the keyboard at the end of the search?
