Hello,
I am new to programming and trying to get a SearchBar to work correctly and hoping someone can show me what I am doing wrong. I have the SearchBar created and when the "search" button is clicked the SearchBar is created along with the segment controls. When you click in the Search the keyboard comes up but when you type it does not search the data. I am not sure what I am doing wrong!!!! I am attaching the ViewController that has the code so that hopefully someone can show me what I am doing wrong.
Thanks
Mike
