Search Results Webparts Automatically Refreshing (Unwanted)

[dontthroworanges]

I am using the URL Fragment method to get a query into the Search Box webpart from another page. The fragment successfully gets into the search box and the search results webpart accurately shows the correct results. However, after a few seconds the results web part refreshes to its default state and the proper results are lost. I do have a few different results webparts on the page that are tied to a verticals webpart. Maybe something in there is causing the issue? Anything I should be looking out for? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

What happens if you use a query parameter instead of a fragment as a workaround?
