I looked through the apple tutorial, and I am trying to make the simplified version for an array of words.
Essentially when a user starts typing the letter a, I want to dynamically show all the matches in the array that start with a, and so forth:
array 1 = auto, airplane, air, airy, beans, chairs
start typing a: auto airplane air airy
au: auto
this is my code, but i get an error at shouldReloadTableForSearchString on the first method
Tank you in advance
