Thanks for reporting. I just pushed a fix for this, feel free to update your instance using the develop or heroku-app-beta branches, or the beta or buildx-experimental docker images (once the CI build finishes).

Nothing changed, other than the version number, new pip package, i typed
"pip install --upgrade whoogle-search" it reported that a newer version was
found, it uninstall 0.3.1 and installed 0.3.2, and i confirmed it, but the
bug wasn't fixed, unless that's gonna be for 0.4, but i doubt it, and to be
fair, i am using python 3.6 on Windows 7 SP1, but i also doubt that's the
issue, i can only think that this whole thing is suspicious, your code is
crap, or nobody has fixed it, or python sucks, i don't know

Turns out, my antivirus was interfering, i moved whoogle search to the
trusted application list, and wouldn't you believe it, it worked just fine
(I am still on 0.3.2)
