Dequeue the cell without using the 'indexPath' and in case of you obtain a nil element, you have to allocate it manually.

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:@"YourCellId"];
    if (!cell)
        cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:@"YourCellId"];

    // fill your cell object with useful stuff :)

}

Trying to use self.tableView for dequeue the cell may cause crashes when you have a sectioned main list and a plain search list. This code instead work in any situation.
