The search and everything else works fine except when I click Cancel on the search bar, an empty screen appears with the empty search bar on it and the navigation bar of the original table view. The original, unfiltered, array from Core Data is not reloaded. I have checked the "Shows cancel button" in the storyboard. I have researched many posts and articles, but no suggestions have worked. The console messages show that after the Cancel button is pressed, among other messages I see the "Events after Fetch:" is executed twice. The second (last) time it has all my managed objects/events in it, but then "filtered array:" is blank, "events:" is blank, "events.self.count:" = 0, searchBarText is blank, self.events.count = 0.

If you are calling the cancel function you should not filter the array, so you should not execute the lines i mentioned below at that time, for this you may check the length of self.searchController.searchBar.text or you can set a boolean to check if cancel is clicked or text is entered in the textfield
NSPredicate *resultPredicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"name contains[c] %@", self.searchController.searchBar.text];
self.events = [[self.events filteredArrayUsingPredicate:resultPredicate] mutableCopy];
