Total working, example you can find out here in this StackBlitz Link

onChange() method you have to pipe () first of all rxjs operators like filter, debounceTime, switchMap. here when text input is changed you can check valueChanges first and then in switchMap() you can fire services api calling of data.

onChanges(){
   this.searchForm.get('searchBar').valueChanges.pipe(
      filter( data => data.trim().length > 0 ),
      debounceTime(500),
      switchMap(  (id: string) => {
         return id ? this.serachService.searchingValue(id.replace(/[\s]/g,'')) : of([]);
      })
   ).subscribe(data =>{
      this.searchResult = data as Array<{}>; 
   })
}

here,

• first pipe() operator is filter(), used for filter any black spaces entering by user. so, that nothing calls for api requesting.
• second pipe() operator is debounceTime(500), used for waiting to stop user typing. and exactly after 5ms search string is passed on api request of switchMap()
• Third pipe() operator is switchMap(), used to switch to a new observable, after every valueChanges.

search.service.ts

searchingValue(value){
    return of(this.bookDetails.filter( booksName => booksName.name.replace(/[\s]/g,'').toLowerCase().indexOf(value.toLowerCase()) === 0 ));
}
