'Can not import module search from google module in python

I installed the google module by Mario Vilas in my virtual environment in ubuntu 14.04 with python2.7 https://pypi.python.org/pypi/google I have done this before in both windows and Ubuntu and it worked fine. However, now when I do the following

>>> from google import search
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<input>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: cannot import name search

I am using pycharm and I can view the package and its modules and I can auto insert using ctrl+space

I tried giving total privileges to the virtual venv package using sudo chmod -R ugo+rX but to no avail

Solution 1:[1]

The shortest work around for this will be:

from googlesearch import search

Solution 2:[2]

"from google import search" is giving error as there is no module with the name "google".After "pip install google" i checked the path to find out out the module in lib, but i was not able to find. I checked and found a module with "googlesearch". By doing the below change in my code i was able to solve the issue

OLD : "from google import search" NEW : "from googlesearch import search"

Solution 3:[3]

simply install both google and google-search

pip install google pip install google-search

It works for me

Solution 4:[4]

Just import google and you will be all set :)

import google

It is tested and verified.
