Search Display to not show results until search bar is tapped

Question

I think I may be missing something obvious:

Is there a simple way to modify the UISearchBar or UISearchDisplayController so that it doesn't reload the view after each letter typed but only after the Search button is hit?

Answer 1

I figured it out. Most of the examples I found search the text here:

• (void)searchBar:(UISearchBar *)theSearchBar textDidChange:(NSString *)searchText

but I just didn't implement that method and instead just wrote my own search function which I called here:

// called when keyboard search button pressed

• (void)searchBarSearchButtonClicked:(UISearchBar *)searchBar{

  [self fetchTheSearchString:searchBar.text]; [searchBar resignFirstResponder]; [self.tableView reloadData];

}
