Animating UITableView When a UISearchBar Scope Button Has Been Selected
===

Is it possible to animate the display of the table view rows when a user selects a search bar scope button?

I currently use a scope bar with a number of filters to refine the scope of the displayed rows in the table view. The UITableViewController retrieves it's data using a NSFetchedResultsController. When a search is entered I currently instantiate a new NSFetchedResultsController, with an updated NSPredicate that matches the revised search.  In the situation where a scope bar button is selected, I also instantiate a new NSFetchedController with a NSPredicate that is based on the scope criteria.

Is there a better way to utilize the NSFetchedResultsController, but animate the transition from one display set to another?
