Unable to use search method from googlesearch module in google colab notebook

Question

try: 
    from googlesearch import search 
    
except ImportError:  
    print("No module named 'google' found") 
urls = [] 
for j in search(str(query),tld="com",start=1, num=15, stop=15, pause=0):
        print(j) 
        urls.append(j)

I have used the same code in my local Jupyter Notebook. It works. But while executing in google colab notebook it shows me the following error.

NameError                                 Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-38-a97ca791b5a9> in <module>()
      4     print("No module named 'google' found")
      5 urls = []
----> 6 for j in google-search(str(query),tld="com",start=1, num=15, stop=15, pause=0):
      7         print(j)
      8         urls.append(j)

NameError: name 'search' is not defined

All the required modules were installed properly.

!pip install rake-nltk
!pip install google-search
!pip install google
!pip install urllib
!pip install beautifulsoup4

Answer is here: https://github.com/MarioVilas/googlesearch/issues/39

The problem is related to a name conflict between packages. If you just install google and not google-search, it will work.

!pip install google

If you already have them both installed, use:

!pip uninstall google-search
!pip uninstall google
!pip install google
