How to implement searchbar in iOS 7 tableView? - ios

Question

I'm new to programming. I am building a program that scans barcodes and puts the UPC number in the search box in my table view. Now all i want to do is create a search for the UPC scanned. the viewTable is displaying an inventory from a sqlite database.
The search bar is built all i need to do is program it to search, and I have not found any good tutorials on how to do this. How can I implement this?

I figured out my own question. for anyone who stumbles across this question, i used NSPredicate. i assumed that if there is a sqlite database then you cannot use NSPredicate, but i made it work. As long as the data is in an array..
