How to do auto-complete in ionic 2 (search-bar)
<p>I am trying to do an auto complete in my search bar what i have done so far is.</p>

<p>I have an array with some strings. and then i am trying to list in my items it i am able to search the particualr item.</p>

<p>But my requirement is not to display the items in a list. I have to make on clicking the search bar all the strings in array should come and the i have to make a search.</p>

<pre><code>&lt;ion-header&gt;

  &lt;ion-navbar&gt;
    &lt;ion-title&gt;search&lt;/ion-title&gt;
  &lt;/ion-navbar&gt;
  &lt;ion-toolbar primary &gt;
    &lt;ion-searchbar (ionInput)="getItems($event)" autocorrect="off"&gt;&lt;/ion-searchbar&gt;
  &lt;/ion-toolbar&gt;

&lt;/ion-header&gt;


&lt;ion-content padding&gt;

&lt;ion-list&gt;
  &lt;ion-item *ngFor="let item of items"&gt;
    {{ item }}
  &lt;/ion-item&gt;
&lt;/ion-list&gt;  

&lt;/ion-content&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>Code for search.ts file:</p>

<pre><code>import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { NavController } from 'ionic-angular';

/*
  Generated class for the SearchPage page.

  See http://ionicframework.com/docs/v2/components/#navigation for more info on
  Ionic pages and navigation.
*/
@Component({
  templateUrl: 'build/pages/search/search.html',
})
export class SearchPage {
private searchQuery: string = '';
  private items: string[];

  constructor(private navCtrl: NavController) {
    this.initializeItems();
  }

  initializeItems() {
    this.items = [
      'Amsterdam',
      'Bogota',
    ]
  }

  getItems(ev: any) {
    // Reset items back to all of the items
    this.initializeItems();

    // set val to the value of the searchbar
    let val = ev.target.value;

    // if the value is an empty string don't filter the items
    if (val &amp;&amp; val.trim() != '') {
      this.items = this.items.filter((item) =&gt; {
        return (item.toLowerCase().indexOf(val.toLowerCase()) &gt; -1);
      })
    }
  }
}
</code></pre>
