laravel - How to show blank if no search results found through Ajax?

Question

I am trying to search similar posts through Ajax while typing in input. And I want to get the blank div if there are no results. Here is my Ajax code I have tried:

$('#title').on('keyup',function(){
   $value=$(this).val();
       $.ajax({
          type : 'get',
          url : '{{URL::to('similarpost')}}',
          data:{'search':$value},
          success:function(data){
             if(data != null){
                 $('.mydiv').html(data);
             }
             else{
                 $('.mydiv').html(); //Here I want the div to be blank but it's not working
             }
          }
       });
 })

try like this, if you want the div to be blank, put like this $('.mydiv').html('');

$('#title').on('keyup',function(){
   let $value = $(this).val();
       $.ajax({
          type : 'get',
          url : '{{URL::to('similarpost')}}',
          data:{'search':$value},
          success:function(data){
             if(data != null){
                 $('.mydiv').html(data);
             }else{
                 $('.mydiv').html('');
             }
          }
       });
 })
