This is really causing me fits.

I put a toolbar on the IUView on the iPad. I added the following: Search Bar (not Search Bar and Search Display) to the toolbar. I set the options to be as follows: Show Cancel Button, Show Scope Bar, Scope Button Titles are: "Title1" and "Title2" (with Title2's radio button selected). Opaque, Clear Context and Auto Resize are checked. I hooked up the delegate of Search Bar to the "File's Owner" and linked it to IBOutlet theSearchBar.

In my viewWillAppear I have the following:

[theSearchBar setScopeButtonTitles:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"Near Me",@"Everywhere",nil]];
    //Just in case:
    [theSearchBar setShowsScopeBar:YES];
    //doesn't seem to do anything:
    //[theSearchBar sizeToFit]; 

    searchDisplayController = [[UISearchDisplayController alloc] initWithSearchBar:theSearchBar contentsController:self];
    [self setSearchDisplayController:searchDisplayController];
    [searchDisplayController setDelegate:self];
    [searchDisplayController setSearchResultsDataSource:self];
    //again--does not seem to do anything..but people have suggested it:
    [theSearchBar sizeToFit]; 

Okay, so far, I thought, so good. So, I made the File's Owner .m file to be a delegate for: UISearchBarDelegate, UISearchDisplayDelegate.

My issue: I have yet to implement the delegates necessary to do the search but still... shouldn't I be seeing the scopeBar next to the search field when I click into the search field? Just so you know I DO see the log of the characters I type, so the delegate is working.

I have the following dummy functions in the .m file (just in case)

// called when keyboard search button pressed
- (void)searchBarSearchButtonClicked:(UISearchBar *)searchBar
{
    NSLog(@"Search Button Clicked\n");

    [theSearchBar resignFirstResponder];
}

// called when cancel button pressed
- (void)searchBarCancelButtonClicked:(UISearchBar *)searchBar
{
    NSLog(@"Cancel Button Clicked\n");
    [theSearchBar resignFirstResponder];
}

- (void)searchBar:(UISearchBar *)searchBar textDidChange:(NSString *)searchText
{
    NSLog(@"Search Text So Far: '%@'\n",searchText);    
}

- (BOOL)searchBarShouldBeginEditing:(UISearchBar *)searchBar {
    return YES;  
}  

- (BOOL)searchBarShouldEndEditing:(UISearchBar *)searchBar {  
    return YES;  
}  

Why doesn't the Scope Bar appear? A results UIPopoverController appears with the title "Results" and "No results found" (of course) when i type the first character in my search...but no scope bar. (not that i expect anything other than "No Results Found".

I am wondering where the scope bar is supposed to appear...in the titleView of the UIPopover? In the toolbar to the right of the search area? Where?
