Here is the my solution:

// Created By Pawan Mall | www.pawanmall.net
$(document).ready(function() {
  $('#sTerm').focus();
  $('#resultArea').hide();
  $('#searchArticle').on('click', function() {
    $('#resultArea').show();
    searchTerm = $('#sTerm').val();
    let surl = 'https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=extracts&origin=*&format=json&generator=search&gsrnamespace=0&gsrlimit=1&gsrsearch=' + searchTerm;
    $.ajax({
      url: surl,
      header: {
        'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' : '*',
        'Content-Type': 'application/json'
      },
      method: 'GET',
      dataType: 'jsonp',
      data: '',
      beforeSend: function(){
        // $("#loader").show();
        $('#resultArea').html('
')
       },
      success: function(data){
        // console.log(data.query.pages);
        dataNum = Object.keys(data.query.pages)[0];
        $('#resultArea').empty();
        let newTitle = '
'+data.query.pages[dataNum].title+'
';
        $('#resultArea').html(`${newTitle}
${data.query.pages[dataNum].extract}
`);
        console.log(data);
      },
      complete: function(){
        $('#sTerm').val('');
        $('#sTerm').focus();
      }
    });
  });
});
