I have been trying except SearchError: however I get the error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Downloads\MoS\yws-2.12\Python\pYsearch-3.1\timeDelay.py",
line 19, in <module>
    except SearchError:
NameError: name 'SearchError' is not defined

I have searched all documents for terms along the lines of searcherror
but am finding nothing..

Any ideas?
