UIsearch rearrange the indexpath.row

Question

i have a problem that i have spend about a week trying to solve it, but no luke up to now.

i have a uisearchbar implmented into my table view. and i also have two nsarray, one for tilte and one for discription. when i search through the array of the titles it returns the rights search, but when i click on a row that the search came with, i get "row 0" if i click on the first row. my question is how to make a connection between the two arrays so when the search rearrange the titles based on the user search the discription array correspond to the same row the title is at.

i appreciate any help.

Answer 1

Simply do not use two NSArrays, but just one with custom NSObject objects:

@interface SomeObject : NSObject {
    NSString *_title;
    NSString *_description;
}

- (BOOL)matchesKeywords:(NSString *)keywords;

@end

Then you have all your information stored in one class, the way Obj-C is meant to be. You can easily perform the search because the objects itself sort of knows whether it matches a given keyword, so when you'd like to change SomeObject you can easily manage those changes in the class itself.

Answer 2

excuse me if I didn't get what you mean, if you can take a look at my source code and help me through it.

I want to display the title on one uitextView and the description on another uitextview on the same detailview.

but the search rearrange the rows and i end up with a diffrent title for a diff. description.

Answer 3

I did merge the two arrays into one, but that made the tableviewcell load alot slower because the cell is holding both, the title and description

Answer 4

can you please show me the implementation code for the header code. how can i use this method - (BOOL)matchesKeywords:(NSString *)keywords; in the implementation code. i have tried so many ways, but none worked

@interface SomeObject : NSObject {

NSString *_title;
NSString *_description;

}

• (BOOL)matchesKeywords:(NSString *)keywords;

@end
