Why UISearchController disappears when typing on UISearchBar?

Question

func configureSearchController() {
    // Initialize and perform a minimum configuration to the search controller.
    searchController = UISearchController(searchResultsController: nil)
    searchController.searchResultsUpdater = self
    searchController.dimsBackgroundDuringPresentation = false
    searchController.searchBar.placeholder = "Search"
    searchController.searchBar.delegate = self
    searchController.searchBar.sizeToFit()

    // Add search bar to View.
    self.view.addSubview(searchController.searchBar)

    searchController.searchBar.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false

    view.bringSubview(toFront: searchController.searchBar)

    //add constraints on searchbar
    view.addConstraint(NSLayoutConstraint(item: searchController.searchBar, attribute: .trailing, relatedBy: .equal, toItem: view, attribute: .trailing, multiplier: 1, constant: 0))
    view.addConstraint(NSLayoutConstraint(item: searchController.searchBar, attribute: .leading, relatedBy: .equal, toItem: view, attribute: .leading, multiplier: 1, constant: 0))

    view.addConstraint(NSLayoutConstraint(item: searchController.searchBar, attribute: .top, relatedBy: .equal, toItem: self.topLayoutGuide, attribute: .bottom, multiplier: 1, constant: 0))
    view.addConstraint(NSLayoutConstraint(item: searchController.searchBar, attribute: .height, relatedBy: .equal, toItem: nil, attribute: .notAnAttribute,multiplier: 1, constant: 64))

}

So that was my code, I added a searchController searchbar as subview to a View. I added constraints as well.

Whenever I type something in the search bar, the whole thing disappears, and also the navigation bar in an animated fashion.

First it looks like this

Then when I start typing, it's gone
