Hello guys,

I built a search bar and list item entries based on info here.

> [@Ionic search issue](https://forum.ionicframework.com/t/ionic-search-issue/114155/5):

> For instance, I added navigation function to the data: { "h\_id": "3", "city": "Dallas", "state": "TX", "zip": "75201", "price": "162500", "navigate": "openPage01()" }, { "h\_id": "4", "city": "Bevery Hills", "state": "CA", "zip": "90210", "price": "319250", "navigate": "openPage02()" } and I’m trying to call this navigate function on Ionic’s html page \<ion-item style="background: black; color: white;" \*ngFor="let item of items"\> …

I realized when I populate listing page with

```auto
  <ion-list style="background: black; color: white;" *ngFor="let item of items">
                                     <ion-item style="background: black; color: white;" >
                                       
                                      <div>
                                        <h4><strong>{{item.title}}</strong></h4>
                                        <p>{{item.description}}</p> 
                  
                                      </div>
                                         
                                    </ion-item>
                                    </ion-list>

```

my page automatically hides overflow… it can’t display more item than 5, it doesn’t allow me to scroll. There 20 items but I can see only the ones which are on top.  
Why does this happen and how can I enable overflow for items from data entry?

This search page is inside ion-segment… when I manually populate without using \*ngFor tag, it allows me to scroll.
