    <p>I have an iPad app (XCode 4.6, iOS 6.2, ARC and Storyboards). I have a UITableView that contains prototype cells, with two labels (lName and lPhone). I have filled a NSArray with the results of the Core Data store. I copied the code from a <a href="http://www.iphonesdkarticles.com/2009/01/uitableview-searching-table-view.html" rel="nofollow">sample</a>, and am lost! I have two fields I am looking for: name and phone number. I want to be able to search on either one. I tried using the UISearchBar Controller, but the results span the entire window, which is not acceptable. So, I'm trying to do this without the controller. I want the search to filter the shown entries in the UITableView, which this bit of code is supposed to do. </p> <p>When I do the MR_findAll (MagicalRecord), I get all of the attributes in the Core Data store. This is where I'm lost - how do I get the two attributes out of the array and into the NSMutableArray <em>allTableData</em>, or is it even necesary in this case? </p> <p>This is my code, so far:</p> <pre><code>NSArray *allDataArray = [ClientInfo MR_findAll]; // move objects from Core Data store to NSMutablearray [allTableData addObjectsFromArray:allDataArray]; if(text.length == 0) { isFiltered = FALSE; } else { isFiltered = true; filteredTableData = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init]; for (ClientCell* client in allTableData) { NSRange nameRange = [client.lName.text rangeOfString:text options:NSCaseInsensitiveSearch]; NSRange phoneRange = [client.lPhone.text rangeOfString:text options:NSCaseInsensitiveSearch]; if(nameRange.location != NSNotFound || phoneRange.location != NSNotFound) { [filteredTableData addObject:client]; } } } </code></pre> <p>I also don't understand <em>how</em> the NSRange is going to match against the two fields I'm looking for. I'm really confused here... help is greatly appreciated!</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
