Again, I solved it myself. A little embarassing. But hey, I'm just starting.. If anyone else might wonder how I got it right: I used the RangeOfString method of NSString to get a range and then add the object to the filtered objects array if the range's length is greater than zero:
                for (cellTitle in speciesArray) {
                        if([cellTitle length] < [searchText length]) continue;
NSRange range = [cellTitle rangeOfString:searchText options:NSCaseInsensitiveSearch range:NSMakeRange(0, [cellTitle length])];
                        if (range.length > 0) [soortenFiltered 
addObject:cellTitle];
                }

The first line is to prevent NSRangeExceptions when a very short string enters the loop as comparison base.

Thanks,
Martijn

Hi all,

I'm looking at the TableSearch example to implement a similar view with a UISearchBar which essentally should act as a filter for the cells in the UITableView below it. The TableSearch example implements an NSComparisonResult that filters using a single wildcard (for want of a better term...): it filters by comparing the string entered in the search bar to the beginning of the strings in the array that fills the table view. What I want instead is to filter on any part of the string (using a 'double wildcard' much like the SQL 'LIKE' operator.

Can I implement this using a NSComparisonResult?

Thanks,
