CKQuery, how to fetch all Fields from Record?

Question

I have worked out how to search my CKrecord and display the string from one field only with the code below.

I have a few questions..( i am new to this )

1. can i search and it not be case sensitive?

2. How can I search ALL fields in the record and then display all of the fields on a match?

I am making a reference app, so you can search, for example, BBC1, and all things that relate to BBC1 (i.e. in that recordID) display.

    var publicDatabase: CKDatabase?
    var currentRecord: CKRecord?

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        publicDatabase = container.publicCloudDatabase

According to Apple's CKQuery Class Reference, you should be able to do both by using a tokenized search of the record's fields:

To perform a tokenized search of a record’s fields, use the special operator self. A tokenized search searches any fields that have full-text search enabled, which is all string-based fields by default. Each distinct word in the tokenized string is treated as a separate token for the purpose of searching. Comparisons are case- and diacritic-insensitive. These token strings may be found in a single field or in multiple fields.

And here is the Listing 5 example (in Swift):

Listing 5 - Matching a field containing one or more tokens

var predicate = NSPredicate(format: "self contains 'bob smith'")

And the Listing 6 example (in Swift):

Listing 6 - Matching a field containing multiple tokens

var predicate = NSPredicate(format: "self contains 'bob' AND self contains 'smith'")

Finally, review the information on Indexes and Full-Text Search, as your record configuration in CloudKit affects which fields are searched (and performance).

EDIT: Further clarification for your use case:

Since you're using the contents of addressField.text to perform your search...

You have to decide whether you want a match to be:

Option 1 - When any single word in addressField.text matches any word in any field in a record.

In Swift 2.2:

let predicate = NSPredicate(format: "self contains %@", addressField.text!)

Option 2 - When all words in addressField.text are in a field in a record (although not necessarily in the same order).

In Swift 2.2:

// creates a compound predicate to match all words in a string
// returns: nil if input was empty, otherwise an NSPredicate
func createPredicateForMatchingAllWordsIn(string: String) -> NSPredicate?
{
    guard !string.isEmpty else { return nil }
    var predicateList : [NSPredicate] = []
    
    let words = string.componentsSeparatedByString(" ")
    for word in words {
        if !word.isEmpty {
            predicateList.append(NSPredicate(format: "self contains %@", word))
        }
    }
    
    return NSCompoundPredicate(andPredicateWithSubpredicates: predicateList)
}

let predicate = createPredicateForMatchingAllWordsIn(addressField.text!)

If you'd like to do additional filtering, like only showing records where the words matched in-order, you can then do it client-side. (The CKQuery class supports only a subset of the predicate behaviors offered by the full NSPredicate class.)
