How to implement search bar in iPhone?

Question

I am trying to implement a tab bar application in which a tab is provided with Search bar. When I click on the Search button after entering some data into the search field, I should get a tableview displaying the search results. The tableview should be added as a subview. How should I implement this?

You need to take a look at Apple's UISearchDisplayController class reference documentation - this covers precisely what you're attempting to do and contains a link to a sample project (see the "Related sample code" section at the top) if you require some example code to look at.

UISearchBar is a control in toolbox, you need to implement it, and implement search button press event to add tableview as a subview.

you can consult with the similar thread here

You will have to create two different tables

One for showing all values.
Second For showing searched result.

and implement these two delegates of UISearchBarDelegate,UISearchDisplayDelegate

-(BOOL)searchDisplayController:(UISearchDisplayController *)controller shouldReloadTableForSearchString:(NSString *)searchString

-(BOOL)searchDisplayController:(UISearchDisplayController *)controller shouldReloadTableForSearchScope:(NSInteger)searchOption
