Tableview shows nothing when typing into searchbar - ios

Question

I have created a app that fetches information from a blog. I am able to successfully fetch the information and show it in the tableview. Then i created a search bar and a search display controller so that i could search through the information. When i run it, there is no error and it fetches and shows the information. But when i enter a letter into the searchbar there is no cells in the tableview even though there is words starting from that letter.
This is the code in my .m file
#implementation EventsTableViewController
#synthesize searchBar, filteredEventsArray, eventNamesArray, isFiltered, eventsDictionary;

{
self = [super initWithStyle:style];
