Search Bar is not filtering properly - ios

Question

I have a search bar in my tableview, but when I initially click on the search bar, the results disappear. If I segue to another controller, and come back, the search bar works fine, with all the results showing when the bar is clicked.
Here is the code:
#IBOutlet weak var toolTable: UITableView!
#IBOutlet weak var searchForTool: UISearchBar!
var searchActive : Bool = false
{
didSet {
if searchActive != oldValue {
toolTable?.reloadData()
}
}
}
typealias Item = (data: String, identity: String)
var filtered: [Item] = []
var items: [Item] = [
(data: " Data1", identity: "A"),
(data: " Data2", identity: "B")
]
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
toolTable.delegate = self
toolTable.dataSource = self
searchForTool.delegate = self
}
func searchBarTextDidBeginEditing(_ searchBar: UISearchBar) {
searchActive = true
}
func searchBarTextDidEndEditing(_ searchBar: UISearchBar) {
searchActive = false
}
func searchBarCancelButtonClicked(_ searchBar: UISearchBar) {
searchActive = false
}
func searchBarSearchButtonClicked(_ searchBar: UISearchBar) {
searchActive = false
}
func searchBar(_ searchBar: UISearchBar, textDidChange searchText: String) {
filtered = items.filter { item in
item.data.localizedCaseInsensitiveContains(searchText)
}
searchActive = !filtered.isEmpty
self.toolTable.reloadData()
}
override func numberOfSections(in tableView: UITableView) -> Int {
return 1
}
override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
if(searchActive) {
return filtered.count
}
return items.count
}
override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "Cell", for: indexPath) as! CustomCell
if(searchActive){
cell.toolLabel.text = filtered[indexPath.row].data
} else {
cell.toolLabel.text = items[indexPath.row].data
}
return cell
}
override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
let vcName: String
if searchActive {
vcName = filtered[indexPath.row].identity
} else {
vcName = items[indexPath.row].identity
}
let viewController = storyboard?.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: vcName)
self.navigationController?.pushViewController(viewController!, animated: true)
}
I'm sure its some simple solution, I'm just overlooking it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Reading your code I see that: searchBarTextDidBeginEditing sets searchActive to true. The data will be reloaded as per the code in didSet. tableView:numberOfRowsInSection is then called and filtered.count is returned, meaning 0 as it's empty. That's why results disappear.
