But we are agreed that this has nothing to do with the search display 
controller, right? That was just a red herring in your original email? In other 
words, what I'm trying to ascertain is that your question is really just this: 
You tap-tap to get the second view into the nav interface, and when it appears, 
it consists of a table view but no search bar.

If that is the question, then the reason is that that's how your view 
controller is set up. The fact that a search bar is somewhere floating around 
in a nib is irrelevant. What's important is what view the view controller 
controls. If the view controller's view is a table view, that is what you'll 
see. If the view controller's view is a view containing a search bar and a 
table view, that is what you'll see.

A common mistake, by the way, is this: Your view controller is a table view 
controller, and you misconfigure it so that it doesn't load any nib at all. You 
think you are loading a nib, but you aren't. The table view controller then by 
default creates its own table view. So the table view you end up seeing is not 
the table view in the nib. This has fooled many people (including me).
