iOS CoreData NSPredicate to query multiple properties at once

I am trying to use a UISearchBar to query multiple properties of a NSManagedObject I have a NSManagedObject called Person, every person has a name and socialSecurity property. Right now my code can perform a search (fetch) for one of those properties or the other, but not both at the same time.

- (void) performFetch
{       
    [NSFetchedResultsController deleteCacheWithName:@"Master"];  

    // Init a fetch request
    NSFetchRequest *fetchRequest = [[NSFetchRequest alloc] init];
    NSEntityDescription *entity = [NSEntityDescription entityForName:@"MainObject" inManagedObjectContext:self.managedObjectContext];
    [fetchRequest setEntity:entity];

    // Apply an ascending sort for the color items
    //NSSortDescriptor *sortDescriptor = [[NSSortDescriptor alloc] initWithKey:@"Term" ascending:YES selector:nil];
    NSSortDescriptor *sortDescriptor;
    sortDescriptor = [[NSSortDescriptor alloc] initWithKey:@"fullName" ascending:YES selector:@selector(caseInsensitiveCompare:)];    

    NSArray *descriptors = [NSArray arrayWithObject:sortDescriptor];
    [fetchRequest setSortDescriptors:descriptors];

    // Recover query
    NSString *query = self.searchDisplayController.searchBar.text;
    //if (query && query.length) fetchRequest.predicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"Term contains[cd] %@", query];
    if(searchValue==1)
    {
        if (query && query.length) fetchRequest.predicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"name contains[cd] %@", query];
    }
    else {
        if (query && query.length) fetchRequest.predicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"socialSecurity contains[cd] %@", query];
    }        

    // Init the fetched results controller
    NSError *error;
    self.fetchedResultsController = [[NSFetchedResultsController alloc] initWithFetchRequest:fetchRequest managedObjectContext:self.managedObjectContext sectionNameKeyPath:@"pLLetter" cacheName:nil];

    self.fetchedResultsController.delegate = self;

    if (![[self fetchedResultsController] performFetch:&error]) NSLog(@"Error: %@", [error localizedDescription]);

    [self.tableView reloadData];
}

I don't know how to put both properties into this statement...

if (query && query.length) fetchRequest.predicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"name contains[cd] %@", query];

Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

You can append multiple search terms in an NSPredicate using the usual boolean operands such as AND/OR.

Something like this should do the trick.

[NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"name contains[cd] %@ OR ssid contains[cd] %@", query, query];

Hope that helps :)
