How to disable jQuery blur event on certain selector

Question

I have the following jQuery and HTML which hide the search result when the focus on the input has been lost.

This code hides my div with id #searchResult when the elements on #searchResult are clicked. I want to disable blur when elements on #searchResult div are clicked. Basically, I want to hide <div id="searchResult"> when the focus is lost and show when it's on focus. How can I achieve that?

$(document).on("blur", "#txtSearchTerm", function () {
    $('#searchResult').hide();
});

$(document).on("focus", "#txtSearchTerm", function () {
    $('#searchResult').show();
});

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<input id="txtSearchTerm" type="text">

<div id="searchResult">
    <ul>
        <li>
            <a href="http://www.google.com">
                <div class="title">Google.com</div>
                <div class="content">Click here</div>
            </a>
        </li>
        <li>
            <a href="http://www.google.com">
               <div class="title">Google.com</div>
               <div class="content">Click here</div>
           </a>
        </li>
    </ul>
</div>

<div id="searchResult"> will be hidden on every click of elements inside it.

You can simply turn off your blur event with the following code.

$(document).off("blur", "#txtSearchTerm");
