Wikipedia Viewer Results disappearing

When I type something into my search bar and hit the submit button I can briefly see that results but then they instantly disappear. Here is my JS:

$(document).ready(function(){ 
  $("#searchBtn").on("click", function(){
    var keyword = $("#search").val();    
    var searchURL = "https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=opensearch&format=json&prop=extracts&exsentences=1&search="+keyword+"&callback=?";
    
    $.ajax({
    type: "GET",
    url: searchURL,
    dataType: "json",
    success: showData,
    error: function(errorMessage){
      console.log("Error!");
    }
  });
  function showData(data){
    for(i=0; i < 8; i++){
      var entries = '<div class=\"resultBox\"><a href='+data[3][i]+'><h4>'+data[1][i]+'</h4></a><span>'+data[2][i]+'</span></div>';
    $(".searchOutput").append(entries);
      
    }
  }
  });
});

Thank you so much! That worked.
