            input = input.toLowerCase();
            return value.filter(function (el: any) {
                return el.Name.toLowerCase().indexOf(input) > -1;
            })

what component do you use the pipe and what module does that component belong to? — Max Koretskyi
I use it in the component called "home.component.html" and it belongs to "app.module.ts" — user5418103

You should import your pipe into declarations not under imports,

try this,

declarations: [
        AppComponent,
        AlertComponent,
        MainPipe,
        HomeComponent,
        LoginComponent,
        RegisterComponent,
        FileSelectDirective,
        UploadComponent,
        ReadComponent,
        DragComponent
    ],
