How do I change the searchDisplayController table view style to grouped?

Question

Hey guys, I have a searchDisplayController that searches a UITableView that I have. After entering the search terms, I can see another UITableView that contains the search results. However, I want this UITableView to be GROUPED, not PLAIN (like it is by default).

Would anyone know how to do this?

Thanks alot!!

Answer 1

This is not possible as the searchResultsTableView property is readonly.

Answer 2

You could try to create a subclass of UISearchDisplayController and make searchResultsTableView searchable

in any .h file add:

@interface YourUISearchDisplayController : UISearchDisplayController {
   UITableView * searchResultsTableView;
}

@property (nonatomic) UITableView * searchResultsTableView;

@end;

Then just use YourUISearchDisplayController instead od UISearchDisplayController.

Note: you might have to use (nonatomic, retain), (nonatomic, assign), or (nonatomic, copy). I'm not really sure
