<p>If there were <em>a lot</em> of functions, you could instead just import <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">test</span></code> and get the function
from there when you need (without having to give the full <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">world.test</span></code> every time):</p>
<div class="highlight-none notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>&gt; from world import test ; test.hello_world(me
<div class="highlight-none notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>&gt; from world import test ; test.hello_world(me)
Hello World!

<p>You can also <em>rename</em> stuff you import. Say for example that the module you import to already
has a function <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">hello_world</span></code> but we also want to use the one from <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">world/test.py</span></code>:</p>

<h2><span class="section-number">11.2. </span>Searching using Object.search<a class="headerlink" href="#searching-using-object-search" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>On the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">DefaultObject</span></code> is a <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">.search</span></code> method which we have already tried out when we made Commands. For this to be used you must already have an object available:</p>
<div class="highlight-none notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>rose = obj.search(&quot;rose&quot;)
<div class="highlight-none notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>obj = evennia.search_object(&quot;My Object&quot;)[0] # assuming this exists
rose = obj.search(&quot;rose&quot;)
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>This searches for objects based on <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">key</span></code> or aliases. The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">.search</span></code> method wraps <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">evennia.search_object</span></code> and handles its output in various ways.</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p>By default it will always search for objects among those in <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">obj.location.contents</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">obj.contents</span></code> (that is, things in obj’s inventory or in the same room).</p></li>
<li><p>It will always return exactly one match. If it found zero or more than one match, the return is <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">None</span></code>.</p></li>
<li><p>On a no-match or multimatch, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">.search</span></code> will automatically send an error message to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">obj</span></code>.</p></li>
<li><p>It will always return exactly one match. If it found zero or more than one match, the return is <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">None</span></code>. This is different from <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">evennia.search</span></code>, which always returns a list.</p></li>
<li><p>On a no-match or multimatch, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">.search</span></code> will automatically send an error message to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">obj</span></code>. So you don’t have to worry about reporting messages if the result is <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">None</span></code>.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>So this method handles error messaging for you. A very common way to use it is in commands:</p>
<div class="highlight-python notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="kn">from</span> <span class="nn">evennia</span> <span class="kn">import</span> <span class="n">Command</span>

<p>Remember, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">self.caller</span></code> is the one calling the command. This is usually a Character, which
inherits from <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">DefaultObject</span></code>!</p>
inherits from <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">DefaultObject</span></code>. So it has <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">.search()</span></code> available on it.</p>
<p>This simple little Command takes its arguments and searches for a match. If it can’t find it, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">result</span></code> will be <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">None</span></code>. The error has already been reported to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">self.caller</span></code> so we just abort with <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">return</span></code>.</p>
<p>With the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">global_search</span></code> flag, you can use <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">.search</span></code> to find anything, not just stuff in the same room:</p>
<div class="highlight-none notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>volcano = self.caller.search(&quot;Vesuvio&quot;, global_search=True)
