trying to implement the uisearchcontroller but its not giving any search result - ios

//approches for uisearchbar

}
The above code is for retrieving stored objects from parse's server and from local storage and show them in table view.
Everything is working fine but I am trying to implement searchbar for adding searching function into my app. The problem is that when am running the app its showing the searchbar but when interacting with search bar its moving to upside and disappearing and when am typing anything.
I am not getting any search result and in NSLog am getting this :
2015-12-03 16:43:48.769 Notes[1015:56944] Attempting to load the view of a view controller while it is deallocating is not allowed and may result in undefined behavior (<UISearchController: 0x7ff2d48165a0>)
I know am missing something and its not the right way to achieve that function.
If somebody knows how to do it correctly or what am missing than please let me know , thanks and sorry if the way am asking question is not proper !
i just figured out that my 'searchNotes' var of Pfobject have nothing i mean its empty ! for that i tried
cell.MasterTitleLabel?.text = searchNotes["Title"] as! String
but its giving error
cannot subscript a value of type '[PFObject]' with an index of type 'string'
i know its because i declared searchNotes as
searchNotes [PFObject] = [PFObject]()
i should do it something like
searchNotes PFObject = PFObject()
but when am doing this its giving so many errors please help if somebody's know how to fix this

Answer 1

Maybe you shouldn't user PFObject directly.
Can you use another class instead of PFObject
private class object {
var mTitle : String!
var mStory : String!
var mTime : String!
var mLocation : String!
}
And use your code here
let obj : object = object()
obj.mTitle = PFObject["title"];
...etc
