Search Engine Solution Question

https://www.sololearn.com/learn/courses/JUMP_LINK__&&__python__&&__JUMP_LINK-introduction/code-project/365164530?returnUrl=/learn/courses/python-introduction

I am struggling with the 'search engine' problem at the end of Intro to Python.
I feel like I am very close but there seems to be a problem in my code I cannot identify. The goal of the problem is to identify if a word is found within a sample of text. If so, output "word found" otherwise "word not found". My program accomplishes this successfully but then also outputs "none" underneath the first output.
Anyone know why?

Alex Andes Gascon ,

to find the issue you have, we need to see your attempt.

Answer 2

without seeing your code, it is hard to tell where the problem is.
But I'm guessing you defined a function with a print function inside and no return value and passed this function to another print function....

def foo():
print('something')

print(foo()) --> something
None (implicit return value if there is no return)

if so, just call it, don't print it:

foo() --> something

or return the value instead of printing it:

def foo():
return 'something'

then print the return value (this time, return would not be None):

print(foo()) --> something
