Adding a toolbar to the result of an UISearchDisplayController - ios

Question

i´m having a tough time with UISearchDisplayController. In my scenario i have an UIView pushed onto a navgation controller. In the UIView i have an UITableView and UIToolbar. In the UITableView I´m using UISearchDisplayController.
The toolbar buttons are used to add additional filter options to the search. My problem is that I can´t figure out, how to add the toolbar at the bottom of the result table view of the UISearchDisplayController.
What is the way to go to add a toolbar to the results?

I finally managed to solve my problem.
Instead of using UISearchDisplayController i only add a UISearchBar to my UITableView and replicate the behavior of UISearchDisplayController with the UISearchBarDelegate methods.
- (void)searchBar:(UISearchBar *)searchBar textDidChange:(NSString *)searchText
{
[self setSearchText:searchText];
[self filterCards];
}
- (void)searchBar:(UISearchBar *)searchBar selectedScopeButtonIndexDidChange:(NSInteger)selectedScope
{
[self setScopeIndex:selectedScope];
[self filterCards];
}
- (void)searchBarCancelButtonClicked:(UISearchBar *)searchBar
{
// Move searchbar to table view
[self.chapterSearchBar removeFromSuperview];
[self.chapterTableView addSubview:[self chapterSearchBar]];
// Show navigation controller
[self.navigationController setNavigationBarHidden:NO animated:YES];
// Hide scope bar an resize
[searchBar setShowsScopeBar:NO];
[searchBar sizeToFit];
// Hide cancel button
[searchBar setShowsCancelButton:NO animated:YES];
// Resize table view
CGRect tableViewRect = [self.chapterTableView frame];
tableViewRect.origin.y = 0;
[self.chapterTableView setFrame:tableViewRect];
// Hide keyboard
[searchBar resignFirstResponder];
[self setSearchText:#""];
[self filterCards];
}
- (void)searchBarSearchButtonClicked:(UISearchBar *)searchBar
{
[searchBar resignFirstResponder];
}
- (BOOL)searchBarShouldBeginEditing:(UISearchBar *)searchBar
{
// Move searchbar to controller view
[self.chapterSearchBar removeFromSuperview];
[self.view addSubview:[self chapterSearchBar]];
// Hide navigation controller
[self.navigationController setNavigationBarHidden:YES animated:YES];
// Show scope bar an resize
[searchBar setShowsScopeBar:YES];
[searchBar sizeToFit];
// Show cancel button
[searchBar setShowsCancelButton:YES animated:YES];
// Resize table view
CGRect tableViewRect = [self.chapterTableView frame];
tableViewRect.origin.y = 44;
[self.chapterTableView setFrame:tableViewRect];
return YES;
}

If anyone's curious how to solve this issue with still using UISearchDisplayController (cleaner probably), simply set the items of your toolbar to your view controller's toolbarItems while search is active:
self.navigationController.toolbarHidden = NO;
self.toolbarItems = optionsToolbar.items;
The UISearchDisplayController retains the view controller's toolbar according to toolbarItems, so this might already be done for you. Can be useful if the toolbar is only being used during search.
