How to implement searchbar in iOS 7 tableView?

Question

I'm new to programming. I am building a program that scans barcodes and puts the UPC number in the search box in my table view. Now all i want to do is create a search for the UPC scanned. the viewTable is displaying an inventory from a sqlite database. The search bar is built all i need to do is program it to search, and I have not found any good tutorials on how to do this. How can I implement this?

#import "MasterViewController.h"
#import "DetailViewController.h"
#import "ScanViewController.h"
#import <sqlite3.h>


@interface MasterViewController ()
{
    NSMutableArray *_objects;

}
@end

@implementation MasterViewController

{
    [super awakeFromNib];
}

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];
    // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
    // Get the DBAccess object;
    DBAccess *dbAccess = [[DBAccess alloc] init];
    // Get the products array from the database
    self.products = [dbAccess getAllProducts];
    // Close the database because we are finished with it
    [dbAccess closeDatabase];

I figured out my own question. for anyone who stumbles across this question, i used NSPredicate. i assumed that if there is a sqlite database then you cannot use NSPredicate, but i made it work. As long as the data is in an array..
