how to find "NO MATCHES" for searched string?

[Thavasidurai]

Hello,

Let say i have content like this @[@"test",@"sample",@"test sample",@"testing"]; and i am searching for word "wz". here i don't have any matches/related word for "wz" in my content array so i suppose to show "No matches found" message.

Can you please guide me how to find that searched string does not have any matches? because your code is always returning sorted array even there is no match.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,
The problem of this algo is the fact of finding an interesting score by searching.
If you look the score associated to your PermissiveObject.score you have to find a minimum threshold to consider that you find a good result.

Don't hesitate to make pull request with new parameter on the API.
For example, a good new method would be on PermissiveResearchDatabase a new selector searchString:withOperation:withScoreThreshold: to filter results in the search operation.
