searching UITableView detailTextLabel and textLabel

Question

I am using the same code displayed in this Stackoverflow URL How do I link the search bar to display results in swift/xcode

and I am wondering if there is also a way to search the detailTextLabel seeing as I have included a subtitle in the cells. The subtitles also do not stay aligned with the textLabels when the filtered search is performed. I am working in Xcode 7.1 and Swift 2.0

Yes, you're able to do so. Under the filterContentForSearchText function, simply return the boolean on whether the title or subtitle contains the search string using an '||' operator.

For example,

func filterContentForSearchText(searchText: String, scope: String = "All") {
    filteredObjects = objects.filter { object in

  return object.title.lowercaseString.containsString(searchText.lowercaseString) || object.subtitle.lowercaseString.containsString(searchText.lowercaseString)

    }

    tableView.reloadData()
}
