In this course I will show you how to create a searchable table view in Xcode 5.1 and iOS 7. The app will also be compatible with iOS 6.

There are six parts in total:

• Part 1: an overview of what we’d like to achieve
• Part 2: we’ll build the table view and populate it with dummy data
• Part 3: hooking up the UISearchDisplayController
• Part 4: displaying search results
• Part 5: hiding the UISearchBar when the app launches (and activating it with a button)
• Part 6: hiding the search bar in iOS 6

The whole course is about one hour in total. Enjoy!
