SwiftypeTouch is a library that makes it easy to add Swiftype-powered search to your iOS application.

2. Add SwiftypeTouch/SwiftypeTouch.xcodeproj to your Xcode project.
   • This can be done by dragging and dropping SwiftypeTouch.xcodeproj into the project browser from Finder.

Quick start for crawler-based engines

If your Swiftype search engine was created with the Swiftype crawler, you can follow these steps to quickly add search that displays results in a table view. Results will load in a webview when selected.

1. First, makes sure you've followed the steps above.

2. Add #import <SwiftypeTouch/STPageDocumentTypeResultsObject.h> to the view controller implementation that will place the search bar on the screen.

3. Create a private property for STPageDocumentTypeResultsObject called resultObject in your view controller:

    @property (nonatomic, strong) STPageDocumentTypeResultsObject *resultObject;
   

4. In the view controller's viewDidLoad add the following code to get the search bar to appear:

    self.resultObject = [[STPageDocumentTypeResultsObject alloc] initWithViewController:self clientEngineKey:@"yourEngineKey"];
    [self.view addSubview:self.resultObject.searchBar];
