Here is how you can search the database in Swift using the FMDB library.

First, go to this link and add this to your project: FMDB. When you have done that, then here is how you do it. For example, you have a table called Person, and you have firstName and secondName and you want to find data by first name, here is a code for that:

    func loadDataByfirstName(firstName : String, completion: @escaping CompletionHandler){
    if isDatabaseOpened {
        let query = "select * from Person where firstName like '\(firstName)'"
        do {
            let results = try database.executeQuery(query, values: [firstName])
            while results.next() {
                let firstName = results.string(forColumn: "firstName") ?? ""
                let lastName = results.string(forColumn: "lastName") ?? ""
                let newPerson = Person(firstName: firstName, lastName: lastName)
                self.persons.append(newPerson)
            }
            completion(true)
        }catch let err {
            completion(false)
            print(err.localizedDescription)
        }
        database.close()
    }
}

Then in your ViewController you will write this to find the person detail you are looking for:

  override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
     super.viewWillAppear(animated)
      SQLManager.instance.openDatabase { (success) in
        if success {
            SQLManager.instance.loadDataByfirstName(firstName: "Hardi") { (success) in
                if success {
                    // You have your data Here
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
