Every view has a hidden property. Whenever u want to hide the table just do [tableView setHidden:YES]. As for showing the tableView whenever the searchBar is clicked, set its delegate to self (or any class in which you are implementing the UISearchBarDelegate) and in the method searchBarTextDidBeginEditing: just do [tableView setHidden:NO]. Hope it helps.
