Can't make this search on a webpage with python using selenium

Question

I'm running the following script to make a search for books on this webpage:

from selenium import web-driver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
import time

PATH = "C:\Program Files (x86)\chromedriver.exe"
driver = webdriver.Chrome(PATH)

#going to a website
driver.get("https://pacobello.com.br/")

#print the page title
print(driver.title)

search = driver.find_element_by_name("s")
search.send_keys("Saramago")
search.send_keys(Keys.RETURN)

time.sleep(5)

#quit a tab
#driver.close()

#quit the browser
driver.quit()

And I'm getting the following error:

raise exception_class(message, screen, stacktrace)

ElementNotInteractableException: element not interactable
  (Session info: chrome=84.0.4147.125)

Does anyone have an idea about this?

Please go through the below link let me know if it helped.

Use XPATH instead:

search = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//input[@type='text']")

Therefore the complete code will be:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
import time


PATH = "C:\Program Files (x86)\chromedriver.exe"
driver = webdriver.Chrome(PATH)

#going to a website
driver.get("https://pacobello.com.br/")

#print the page title
print(driver.title)

search = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//input[@type='text']")
search.send_keys("Saramago")
search.send_keys(Keys.RETURN)

time.sleep(5)

#quit a tab
#driver.close()

#quit the browser
driver.quit()

it worked just fine changing the driver. Do you know why it happens? My chrome version is 84. – Thiago Oliveira Aug 13 '20 at 14:25
Because your chrome version is 83, You can check from your chrome settings. – hi1 Aug 13 '20 at 14:27
