setValue not working

[geogeek11]

i've tried to set initial value of the Autocomplete Component using different methods:
*i've tried this.searchbar.setValue() but it throws this error "this.DataProvider is undefined"
*set keyword in this manner <ion-auto-complete [keyword]="XXXXXX" .... did not work
*set keyword this.searchbar.keyword = "XXXXXXX"; did not work

i don't know if there is another manner so set value of the autocomplete component.

to set the placeholder I've used this code

<ion-auto-complete (itemSelected)="selected($event)" [options]="{ placeholder : 'Search', type : 'number' }" [dataProvider]="completeService" #searchbar >
