In the UIViewController documentation about the searchDisplayController property [1] it says:
If you create your search display controller programmatically, this property is set automatically by the search display controller when it is initialized. And when I create my UISearchDisplayController thusly: [[[UISearchDisplayController alloc] initWithSearchBar:searchBar contentsController:self] autorelease]; -[UIViewController searchDisplayController] is not nil. However, it is nilled out after the event loop finishes, which causes the search display controller not to show when I touch inside the search bar. Nothing crashes. This is very weird. If I omit the call to autorelease, everything works: [[UISearchDisplayController alloc] initWithSearchBar:searchBar contentsController:self]; However, leaks the UISearchDisplayController (I verified this with Instruments). Since the searchDisplayController property is marked as (nonatomic, retain, readonly) I expect that it would retain the UISearchDisplayController after it is set. This stackoverflow article [2] is related. I cross-posted this question on stackoverflow.
