Merry Christmas Eve,

In the code below I've got two lines that create the NSPredicate 'searchPredicate' (they're both uncommented here, but in practice I alternate commenting one or the other out to test). When I use the testArray to create the predicate all is great and I get the results I expect, but when I use the self.currentDeckSwitchedOnCategoryArray I get zero results. I have checked many times to ensure both arrays have the same content (see console output below - differing the order of elements does not seem consequential). The only difference between the arrays is that one is an NSArray and the other is an NSMutableArray, although I have tried to convert the latter into an NSArray to see if that was the issue - no joy. Other ideas were the spaces in the strings or even that quotes appear around output in the console (typical when strings contain non-alphanumeric characters). Can anyone spot something that would cause this different behavior or suggest a fix to the problem?
Thanks and hope I can get this straightened out before Xmas day, Joel
