my first problem how can show results in table view? can give screenshots if want.

you can add bool ivar tell when need show filtered array , new array show filtered data:

bool isshowfiltereddata; nsarray *filtereddata; 

in init or viewdidload initialize bool false (you don't want show data);

isshowfiltereddata = no; 

you have change datasource/delegate method use right data:

- (nsinteger)tableview:(uitableview *)tableview numberofrowsinsection:(nsinteger)section {     return isshowfiltereddata ? isshowfiltereddata.count : mydataarray.count; }  - (uitableviewcell *)tableview:(uitableview *)tableview cellforrowatindexpath:(nsindexpath *)indexpath {     //configure cell, etc..     //your code      if (isshowfiltereddata)      {          // show filtered data          id obj = filtereddata[indexpath.row];          // result     }     else     {         // show data     } } 

now when want show filtered data change ivar true, initialise filtereddata array , fill in data want show , call reloaddata:

isshowfiltereddata = yes; filtereddata = [[nsarray alloc] initwithobjects:.....]; [self.tableview reloaddata]; 

but if want show data do:

isshowfiltereddata = no; [self.tableview reloaddata]; 

this 1 of solution can use.
