Cannot import name search

I’ve installed google via pip for both python2 (system distro) and anaconda for python3. I’m using ubuntu 16.04. When I try to import anything, like search, it says

ImportError: cannot import name 'search'

That’s after doing

from google import search

The same thing happens in python2 or 3.

When I import google and check the ‘dir’, it says: (python3)

In [84]: dir(google)
Out[84]: ['__doc__', '__loader__', '__name__', '__package__', '__path__', '__spec__']

(python2)

In [3]: dir(google)
Out[3]: ['__doc__', '__name__', '__path__']

Any ideas what’s going on? The __init__.py file looks fine where it’s installed, which I found from google.__path__. But I thought for most packages, .__file__ was the way to specify the filepath to the module.
