Python google search "advanced" argument unexpected

Question

I'm trying to perform a google search using python, using the googlesearch python module. I don't just want urls to be outputted, I also want a description of the information in the url, basically web scraping.

Here's the code that includes the advanced argument:

from googlesearch import search

print(search('my search', advanced=True)) #advanced argument is true, to make the search detailed

but I get this error:

TypeError: search() got an unexpected keyword argument 'advanced'

and I don't know why this is occurring.

I got this code from https://pypi.org/project/googlesearch-python. I would also like to note that I don't want to use other web scraping libraries, such as bs4 (BeatifulSoup4) or urllib, especially since I want to figure out why the advanced argument isn't being accepted.

@MarkusSafar, what do you mean by stacktrace? I installed it using pip, and I have version 3.0.0 currently. — 5rod

That worked, but now when I run search('my search', advanced=True) it doesn't return anything. How do I get the results?

What you mean ? It return none or what?

Like the program just finishes. Like you know when you write a function in a program, but you forget to actually run the function? Just like that, it doesn't return anything, it just ends the program.
