Googlesearch library does not work

Question

I created a tool (python 3.7) a while ago using the library Googlesearch and worked normally, I decided to use it today and noticed that is giving problem in the library.

Code:

from googlesearch import search

print(
    """

    banner     


    """
)

# Pegar tipo de conteúdo
print("Exemplos de conteúdo: Hacking, Forum, eBooks")
conteudo = str(input("Conteúdo:"))


# Dork para encontrar os URLS/LINKS/SITES
dork = f'{conteudo} site:onion.link | site:onion.cab | site:onion.sh | site:tor2web.fi | site:onion.direct'


# Menu de escolhas/seleção


def menu():
    banner = '''


    +-------------------------------------------------------+
    '''

    print(banner)

def escolha():
    print("0. Sair")
    print("1. Sites Onion")
    print("2. Créditos")


menu()

while True:
    escolha()
    menuzinho = int(input("Selecione uma opção: "))
    if menuzinho == 0:
        print("Até a proxima")
        break
    elif menuzinho == 1:
        with open("site.txt", "w") as stream:
            for url in search(dork, stop=50 or 1):
                print(url, file=stream)
            print("-----------------------------------------------------")
            print("Os links foram salvos no seguinte txt: site.txt")
            print("-----------------------------------------------------")
    elif menuzinho == 2:
        print("")
        print("Criado por")
        print("")
        input("Pressione ENTER para continuar")
    else:
        print("Essa opção não existe, tente novamente!")

You’re trying to use the library the wrong way - the call search is not a library function googlesearch, and yes, a class method GoogleSearch. This class yes, can be imported from the library.

This is easily observable in the short usage example on the library download page (https://pypi.org/project/google-search/):

from googlesearch.googlesearch import GoogleSearch

response = GoogleSearch().search("something")
for result in response.results:
    print("Title: " + result.title)
    print("Content: " + result.getText())

(observe: from googlesearch import GoogleSearch and not from googlesearch import search -- may even have worked someday, but if so, it was an earlier version of the library)
