[Tutor] Shashwat Anand you helped with search

[jim serson]

I am trying to have the search return several numbers or words in a single sentences now. I don't know if I am using the wrong format I am trying to use the split method because I thought I could return several parts of a sentence with it. 
For example if it had 1 2 3 4 5 I thought I could search and return 1 3 5 or if it had “to set the function” I could return
 “set function” from that line, but I can’t get it working properly. 
 
I have tried several different approaches with split. I have tried to split it at the raw_input() line, at the if statement, putting it in a loop and declaring it separately. I have looked up, in the python library to make sure I am entering it properly. It will ether run trough and not work like I expect or it will come up with an error. 
 
I think I am using the right method in the wrong way. If you could tell me if I am trying the correct method or give me a push in the right direction that would be grate thanks.
 
look_in = raw_input ("Enter the search file to look in ")
search = raw_input ("Enter your search item ")
 
c = open(look_in, "r").read().count(search.split()
if c:   print search, ",", c,"Of your search was found"
else:   print "Your search was not found"
