I have the solution. Insert these three methods.You have to have the tableview preloaded with the data in order this to work. I have this codes working in my code so it has to work for you as long as you have already preloaded the data and you are using search display controller.

- (void)searchDisplayControllerDidBeginSearch:(UISearchDisplayController *)controller
{
    CGRect testFrame = CGRectMake(0, self.notesSearchBar.frame.size.height, self.notesSearchBar.frame.size.width, self.view.frame.size.height - self.notesSearchBar.frame.size.height);
    self.searchDisplayController.searchResultsTableView.frame = testFrame;
    [self.notesSearchBar.superview addSubview:self.searchDisplayController.searchResultsTableView];

//    [self.view addSubview:self.searchDisplayController.searchResultsTableView];
    controller.searchResultsTableView.hidden = NO;
}

-(void) searchDisplayController:(UISearchDisplayController *)controller didHideSearchResultsTableView:(UITableView *)tableView
{
    CGRect testFrame = CGRectMake(0, self.notesSearchBar.frame.size.height, self.notesSearchBar.frame.size.width, self.view.frame.size.height - self.notesSearchBar.frame.size.height);
    self.searchDisplayController.searchResultsTableView.frame = testFrame;
    [self.notesSearchBar.superview addSubview:self.searchDisplayController.searchResultsTableView];

    //    [self.view addSubview:self.searchDisplayController.searchResultsTableView];
    controller.searchResultsTableView.hidden = NO;
}


-(void) searchDisplayControllerWillEndSearch:(UISearchDisplayController *)controller
{
    controller.searchResultsTableView.hidden = YES;
}
