see this below code also you not add the rows related searched data put this condition in below 3 delegate method of UITableView also
- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView {
if (searching)
return 1;
else
return [content count];
}
// Customize the number of rows in the table view.
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section {
if (searching)
return [copyListOfItems count];
else
return [[[content objectAtIndex:section] objectForKey:#"rowValues"] count] ;
}
- (NSString *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView titleForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section {
if(searching)
return #"";
else
return [[content objectAtIndex:section] objectForKey:#"headerTitle"];
}
