Just add it as subview and set its height to something like:

CGFloat tableViewHeight = searchResultsNr * cellHeight;

Also make sure that there is some max height for it, so all cells are visable for more results like:

CGFloat maxHeight = screenHeight - serchBarHeight - keyboardHeight;

And just change frame on reloading your data, it should work.

Think about it as a full screen table view that is also added as a subview of the main view but hidden when the search is not active.

For this effect, just use a black translucent background color for your table view, your cells must have the white background color.

Hope that helps.
