Quite often it’s required from iOS applications to be capable of performing search in specific data that is displayed in a tableview. Undoubtably, most of developers have faced that situation, and the most usual approach to that is to use the default controls that the iOS SDK provides. Up to iOS 8, Apple was providing a special control for performing searches in tableviews named UISearchDisplayController. This controller, in conjunction with the UISearchBar was making possible to add search features quite easily in an application. Nevertheless, this belongs to history now.
