All you need to do is that once you get the desired data from database (Which I guess can be an array) call this method [tableViewPtr reloadData] and in the TableView Delegate Method. cellForRowAtIndexPath: Here tableViewPtr is your outlet for tableview .Inside the delegate method search for the text string and If found you can either set a background image else update the cell accordingly

As you have mentioned that you are taking the input for search text using a Textfield in an alert view you can grab the input string from the alert View using somthing like this

- (void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)alertView clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex
{
    if(buttonIndex == 0)
    {
        searchString = myTextField.text;
        if(searchString)
        {
            [myTable reloadData];
        }
        [myTextField resignFirstResponder];
    }
}

Here myTextField is the textField that was added to the alertView

And In the cellForRowAtIndexPath: method you can compare this string with the content of the cell

if (searchString != nil)
{
        if([searchString caseInsensitiveCompare:currentCellText] == 0)
        {
            change the desired property for cell
        }
}

here myTextField is a TextField and searchString is an NSString declared in .h file
