Function in python to search for specific word in a text-CodePudding

I would like to get know if the person studied maybe at another university. I just gave a random website

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
 
import requests

url = 'https://www.liverpool.ac.uk/environmentalsciences/staff/daniel-arribas-bel/'

r = requests.get(url)

soup = BeautifulSoup(r.content,'lxml')
print(soup.find(text='About').find_next('div').get_text().strip())'

Now by print there is a text, but I would like to know if there is a function in python where you can give university and says, if it is in the text or not.

I search for a function which gave the output yes, if the word university is in the text.

I expect an output YES, NO, TRUE or FALSE

CodePudding user response：

Getting 404 for your url, think you have to be logged in

Simply check if university is in the scraped text:

if 'university' in soup.find(text='About').find_next('div').get_text(strip=True):
    print(True)
else:
    print(False)

Alternative:

if soup.find(text='About').find_next('div').get_text(strip=True).find('university') >= 0:
    print (True)
else:
    print(False)
