Answer 1

Addition to @Joshua's answer, you can also use NSCompoundPredicate for your OR operations like this.

Obj-C - OR

// OR Condition //

NSPredicate *predicate1 = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"X == 1"];
NSPredicate *predicate2 = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"X == 2"];
NSPredicate *predicate = [NSCompoundPredicate orPredicateWithSubpredicates:@[predicate1, predicate2]];

Swift - OR

let predicate1:NSPredicate = NSPredicate(format: "X == 1")
let predicate2:NSPredicate = NSPredicate(format: "Y == 2")
let predicate:NSPredicate  = NSCompoundPredicate(orPredicateWithSubpredicates: [predicate1,predicate2] )

Swift 3 - OR

    let predicate1 = NSPredicate(format: "X == 1")
    let predicate2 = NSPredicate(format: "Y == 2")
    let predicateCompound = NSCompoundPredicate.init(type: .or, subpredicates: [predicate1,predicate2])

Answer 2

It will work for you.

    NSPredicate *bPredicate;
    bPredicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"name contains[c] %@ OR product_price contains[c] %@ OR foodescription contains[c] %@",searchText,searchText,searchText];

NSArray *filteredArray = [getObjectsFromServiceArray filteredArrayUsingPredicate:bPredicate];

Answer 3

use NSCompoundPredicate for your multiple predicates, you can refer NSCompoundPredicate Class Reference

something like this:

NSPredicate * andPredicate = [NSCompoundPredicate andPredicateWithSubpredicates:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:predicate1,predicate2,predicate3,nil]];
