Hi Alex, When you create a UISearchDisplayController, you can pass it a UISearchBar.
I will say that using a UISearchDisplayController can be very confusing the first time you use it, so I might suggest taking a look at https://github.com/jstedfast/MonoTouch.SQLite You'll see how I setup a UISearchDisplayController in the AllInOneUITableViewController (mostly what this class does is to simplify the use of UITableViewControllers so that you don't have to create all the different delegate classes, etc).
