# Step 2: Type into an input and press Enter

## The lecture

The lecture types "Python" into the Wikipedia search bar. The bar is found by its `name` attribute, text is typed with `send_keys`, and the special Enter key is sent with the `Keys` class from `selenium.webdriver.common.keys`, which submits the search.

## The code

```python
def search_for(browser, term=SEARCH_TERM):
    search_input = browser.find_element(BY_NAME, SEARCH_INPUT_NAME)
    search_input.send_keys(term)
    search_input.send_keys(KEY_ENTER)
```

`KEY_ENTER` is the same value as `Keys.ENTER`, again guarded by a unit test.

## What the browser shows

![The Wikipedia article "Python" after the search](https://git.tirsystem.com/Tirsvad-Udemy-100-days-of-code/048-fill-out-form/raw/branch/main/docs/images/step-2-search.png)

## What we gained

- `By.NAME` finds an input by its `name` attribute.
- `send_keys` types text into an input, and also sends special keys such as Enter.
- Sending Enter submits a search like a person would, without finding a search button.
