I'm assuming your nav aids list will have an array controller and that you're building for Tiger or better.

You can get the search behavior by adding a search field to your interface and binding the search field's predicate to the array controller's filterPredicate. It will then filter your array of nav aids in real time, and there's no code necessary -- it's all done in IB.

You'll have to fiddle with the predicateFormat in the bindings tab. More information is here:

I'm writing an application to display a list of nav aids. I'd like to be able to search the list like the iphone address book does. I.e. you type and the list filters in realtime. does anyone have any code snippets to point me in the right direction.


No, but that's not too difficult to do - have an internal NSTimer that is reset every time the text changes, and triggers the search in a fraction of a second.
