Core Data Query Multiple Columns with Single Search String

Question

I have a simple Core Data model with two string attributes (size and category). Given a search string like \'small widget\' is it possible to return records that match all the q

Answer 1

For Swift you can fetch multiple columns by using propertiesToFetch

let fetchRequest = NSFetchRequest(entityName: "")
let predicate = NSPredicate(format: "")
fetchRequest.predicate = predicate
fetchRequest.resultType = .dictionaryResultType


// Here is where you can query multiple columns, you can add as much columns as you want and fetch them as an array of dictionaries
fetchRequest.propertiesToFetch = ["column1", "column2", "column3, "column4"]


let sort = NSSortDescriptor(key: "column1", ascending: false)
fetchRequest.sortDescriptors = [sort]
