Classification:Serious Bug Reproducible:Always
 
When using a Storyboard with a UITableViewController with dynamic prototype cells, these cells aren't used in the searchResultsTableView of UISearchDisplayController.

Assuming that the UITableViewController is also the UISearchDisplayDelegate I'd expect that I could dequeue cells like this:

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
    return [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:@"MyCell" forIndexPath:indexPath];
}

So "tableView" would be either self.tableView or self.searchDisplayController.searchResultsTableView.

However, this returns nil cells in the searchResultsTableView case!

Note:
We can try to work around this bug  by always dequeuing the cells from self.tableView. Unfortunately, this raises an exception if the requested indexPath is not present in self.tableView as well.
