    self.searhController.delegate=self;



    self.searhController.searchResultsDataSource = self;
    self.searhController.searchResultsDelegate = self;
    self.edgesForExtendedLayout = UIRectEdgeNone;

    [self.searhController setDelegate:self];
    [self.searhController setSearchResultsDelegate:self];
    [self.searhController setSearchResultsDelegate:self];

#pragma mark TableView Delegate

- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section {

    if (tableView== self.searhController.searchResultsTableView) {
        if(self.searchResults.count<=0)
            return 0;
        else
            return self.searchResults.count;
    }
    else{
        return 0;    }

{
    static NSString *simpleTableIdentifier = @"SimpleTableItem";
    tableView.delegate=self;
    tableView.dataSource=self;
    UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:simpleTableIdentifier];
    if(tableView==self.searhController.searchResultsTableView){


        if (cell == nil) {
            cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:simpleTableIdentifier];
        }
        City *cityObj=[self.searchResults objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
        cell.textLabel.text = cityObj.name;
    }

    return cell;
}
-(void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{

sure you could have been set delegate properly. Where you set breakpoint before if loop right? — Yohan, Aug 07 '14 at 11:52
you set delegate using coding or using IBOutlet? and do you have added any gesture to the view — Yohan, Aug 07 '14 at 11:55

As per you You set some tapGesture to the view so don add gesture to the view at viewDidLoad(). Add Gesture to the view when you start typing in the textfield and when you didFinish typing remove the gesture from the view. So it won affect tableview from didslect() problem
