Searching data from txt file in iOS

I have a .txt file in which some data is present, when I stored it in an array I got 50000 words. I want to search the data from text file according to user input and show it on UITableview cell, how is it possible ? Can any body help me?

Here is my code to read data from .txt file in viewDidLoad:

NSString *filepath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"myList" ofType:@"txt"];
NSError *error;
NSString *fileContents = [NSString stringWithContentsOfFile:filepath encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding error:&error];

if (error)
NSLog(@"Error reading file: %@", error.localizedDescription);

// maybe for debugging...
NSLog(@"contents: %@", fileContents);

NSArray *listArray = [fileContents componentsSeparatedByString:@"\n"];
NSLog(@"items = %d", [listArray count]);
