How can I add a UISearchDisplayController to a UIView?

Question

How can I add a UISearchDisplayController to a UIView? Interface builder won't let me.

Answer 1

Just do it in code e.g. (assuming the view controller is vc):

[vc addSubview:mySearchDisplayController.searchBar];
// Note that searchBar is the view, and mySearchDisplayController only CONTROLS the searchBar etc.

Answer 2

A UISearchDisplayController cannot be added to a UIView because it doesn't inherit from a UIView. You can add a UISearchBar in Interface builder with an IBOutlet and then create a UISearchDisplayController with that UISearchBar programmatically.
