Answer 1

In order to achieve that, you just need to add a small thing to your code. Please take a look at this plunker.

Like you can see there, with the showList variable we can show the results only after the user has searched something.

  <ion-list *ngIf="showList">
    <ion-item *ngFor="let item of items">
      {{ item }}
    </ion-item>
  </ion-list>

We first set that variable to false in the constructor and then we set it to true inside the getItems(...) method.
