  constructor(props) {
    super(props);

    this.state = {
      Item: 5,
      skip: 0
    }

    this.handleClick = this.handleClick.bind(this);
  }

  urlParams() {
    return `http://localhost:3001/meetups?filter[limit]=${(this.state.Item)}&&filter[skip]=${this.state.skip}`
  }

  handleClick() {
    this.setState({skip: this.state.skip + 1})
  }

  render() {
    return (

      </div>
    )
  }
}


ReactDOM.render(<Example/>, document.querySelector('div#my-example' ))

The problem is that when you empty the searchbox, keyword becomes "". You then check str.indexOf("") returns 0 which means your filter operation returns all items (like you are seeing)!!!

This returns everything when keyword is "":

 let filtered=this.state.allData.filter((item)=>{
      return item.companyName.indexOf(keyword) > -1
    });

To fix it - simply return [] if keyword is empty ("")

searchHandler(event){
    let keyword =event.target.value;
    let filtered=this.state.allData.filter((item)=>{
      return item.companyName.indexOf(keyword) > -1
    });
    if (keyword === "") {
      filtered = [];
    }
    this.setState({
      filtered
    })
  }
