Why the result of the API request is Promise pending

Question

I'm trying to fetch data from a search engine API for a list of search queries. The results will be stored in another list. However, the return value is Promise{ <pending> } for all of them. What's the issue with my code?

Here's where I'm storing and calling the function to fetch the according API one-by-one:

let textWords = ["How to read stocks","Why is everyone so mean","Get rich fast"] // There's a list of search queries for which the search request is sent

let searchResults = [] // The list where I store the results
for (var t=0;t<textWords.length;t++) {
    searchResults.push(runSearch(textWords[t]))
}

Where I fetch API:

async function runSearch(query) {
    const url = `http://api.serpstack.com/search?access_key=my_key&query=${query}&engine=google`
    const settings = {
        "method": "GET"
    }       

    try {
        const response = await fetch(url, settings)
        const final = await response.json()
        return final
    } catch(err) {
        console.log(err)
    }
}
