The app shows a list of cars parts (car part, type, year, country) it is working in a tableview with a search bar.
Now I decided to add a scope bar to filter the results, and I am sure I messed up with the code. There are many errors in the lines to add the scopeBar. It is the last 20 lines, after the comment //ScopeBar try, other than this last lines I added a code in the viewDidLoad() to show the titles I want.
What am I doing wrong? Any help is more than welcome, I am trying to fix this for 2 days already no luck.

There are a few issues with this code. For starters, as others have pointed out, var searchResults:[Dictionary] = [] isn't valid syntax. A Dictionary in Swift requires a type specification, such as Dictionary<String: AnyObject>. I'm guessing based off the rest of your code that you've named a custom entity named Dictionary, which may be causing the confusion.
The next issue I see is that on lines 8 and 10, you need to initialize the array, using (), i.e. var searchResults:[Dictionary] = [](). (Again, this is assuming you fix the issue of declaring your Dictionary type correctly.)
Another issue is your filter statement on line 192:
dictionaryItems = cockpitDict.filter({( cockpitDict : Dictionary) -> Bool in let categoryMatch = (scope == "All") || (cockpitDict.category == scope) return categoryMatch && cockpitDict.name.lowercaseString.containsString(searchText.lowercaseString) })
Let's take a look at the definition of cockpitDict on line 12:
private var cockpitDict = [String: [Dictionary]]()
Because this is an Array with a String key and an Array<Dictionary> value, you have both a key and value to capture in the closure. The filter statement needs to be different, something like this (again, I've made some assumptions on the definition of your custom Dictionary type):
dictionaryItems = cockpitDict.filter({(key, value) -> Bool in let categoryMatch = (scope == "All") || (value.category == scope) return categoryMatch && value.name.lowercaseString.containsString(searchText.lowercaseString) })
I went through whole code provided in github and resolved it
Change your viewDidLoad to
override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() // Load menu items from database if let managedObjectContext = (UIApplication.sharedApplication().delegate as? AppDelegate)?.managedObjectContext { let fetchRequest = NSFetchRequest(entityName: "DictionaryEntity") do { dictionaryItems = try managedObjectContext.executeFetchRequest(fetchRequest) as! [Dictionary] } catch { print("Failed to retrieve record") print(error) } } searchController = UISearchController(searchResultsController: nil) tableView.tableHeaderView = searchController.searchBar searchController.searchResultsUpdater = self searchController.dimsBackgroundDuringPresentation = false searchController.searchBar.placeholder = "Search ..." // you were setting before initialization searchController.searchBar.scopeButtonTitles = ["All", "type", "year", "country"] navigationItem.backBarButtonItem = UIBarButtonItem(title: "", style: .Plain, target: nil, action: nil) // Enable self sizing cells tableView.estimatedRowHeight = 100.0 tableView.rowHeight = UITableViewAutomaticDimension createCockpitDict() }
and For last scopebar filtering
func filterContentForSearchText(var searchText: String, scope: NSInteger) { searchText = searchText.lowercaseString; func checkString(strData: String, strSearchData: String)-> Bool{ return strData.rangeOfString(strSearchData, options: NSStringCompareOptions.CaseInsensitiveSearch) != nil } searchResults = dictionaryItems.filter({ (dictionary:Dictionary) -> Bool in switch scope { case 0: return (checkString(dictionary.word!, strSearchData: searchText) || checkString(dictionary.type!, strSearchData: searchText) || checkString(dictionary.country!, strSearchData: searchText) || checkString(dictionary.year!, strSearchData: searchText)) case 1: return checkString(dictionary.type!, strSearchData: searchText) case 2: return checkString(dictionary.year!, strSearchData: searchText) case 3: return checkString(dictionary.country!, strSearchData: searchText) default: return true; } }) tableView.reloadData() } // MARK: - UISearchBar Delegate func searchBar(searchBar: UISearchBar, selectedScopeButtonIndexDidChange selectedScope: Int) { filterContentForSearchText(searchBar.text!, scope: searchBar.selectedScopeButtonIndex) } // MARK: - UISearchResultsUpdating Delegate - comment older method so duplicate method error will be vanished func updateSearchResultsForSearchController(searchController: UISearchController) { let searchBar = searchController.searchBar filterContentForSearchText(searchController.searchBar.text!, scope: searchBar.selectedScopeButtonIndex) }
