I have a search bar with these data format as a Realm object.

Optional(Results<Place> <0x7fb0d9e0bb10> (
[0] Place 
 name = Federal Street;
 country = United States;
 lat = 42.5447229;
 lon = -71.2809886;
,
...

I'm trying to make the filter working

//MARK: - Search bar methods
extension PlacesVC : UISearchBarDelegate 



 func searchBar(_ searchBar: UISearchBar, textDidChange searchText: String) 

 print("searchText (searchText)")

 places = places.filter ($0["name"] ?? "").range(of: searchBar.text ?? "", options: [ .caseInsensitive, .diacriticInsensitive ]) != nil 

 if searchBar.text?.count == 0 

 load()

 DispatchQueue.main.async 
 searchBar.resignFirstResponder()
 

 

 table.reloadData()
 

I kept getting

Cannot subscript a value of incorrect or ambiguous type

Any hints on what I did wrong ?

What also should work is if you are using NSPredicate

let bPredicate: NSPredicate = NSPredicate(format: "SELF.name contains[cd] %@", searchText)
places.filter(using: bPredicate)

This is what I did

extension PlacesVC : UISearchBarDelegate 

 func searchBar(_ searchBar: UISearchBar, textDidChange searchText: String) 

 places = places?.filter("name CONTAINS[c] %@", searchBar.text!).sorted(byKeyPath: "name", ascending: true)

 if searchBar.text?.count == 0 

 load()

 DispatchQueue.main.async 
 searchBar.resignFirstResponder()
 

 

 table.reloadData()
 

and it is working perfectly

Hope this will help someone like me in the future.

Filter can be like:

places = places.filter(
 $0
 .name
 .uppercased()
 .components(separatedBy: .whitespaces)
 .filter $0.hasPrefix(searchText.uppercased())
 .count > 0
 ).sorted(by: $0.name > $1.name )
