Eu sou muito novo no Typescript e no Ionic 2 e estou tentando filtrar uma resposta json com a barra de pesquisa do Ionic 2.

Este é o meu código:

import {Component} from '@angular/core';
import {NavController} from 'ionic-angular';
import {Http} from '@angular/http';
import 'rxjs/add/operator/map';



@Component({
  templateUrl: 'build/pages/home/home.html'
})
export class HomePage {

  posts: any;
  private searchQuery: string = '';
  private items: string[];
  constructor(private http: Http) {

    this.initializeItems();

    this.http.get('https://domain.co/open.jsonp').map(res => res.json()).subscribe(data => {
        this.posts = data;
        console.log(this.posts);

    });

  }

  initializeItems() {
    this.items = this.posts;
  }

  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 && val.trim() != '') {
      this.items = this.items.filter((item) => {
        return (item.toLowerCase().indexOf(val.toLowerCase()) > -1);
      })
    }
  }

}

E a marcação:

<ion-header>
  <ion-searchbar (ionInput)="getItems($event)" [debounce]="500" placeholder="Suchen..."></ion-searchbar>
</ion-header>

<ion-content>
  <ion-list>
    <ion-item *ngFor="let post of posts">
      <h1>{{post.storeName}}</h1>
    </ion-item>
  </ion-list>
</ion-content>

Eu erro este quando eu procuro:

item.toLowerCase não é uma função

Os dados JSON são assim:
