I am trying to implement a search bar on my Flask web application. As I am a beginner in web programming, I have to search around for ways to do it and I saw the option to use flask_whooshalchemy. However, I have also seen people commenting about how this extension is no longer supported and it is incompatible with Python 3 (I am currently using the python 3.8.2).

I have tried installing through 'pip3 install flask-whooshalchemy' and it is said to be installed. But when I entered 'import flask_whooshalchemy' in the REPL, it gives ModuleNotFound error. I have tried to install flask_whooshalchemyplus through pip but it returns error with exit status 1.

May I ask if there is any other ways for me to implement the search bar or if I can download flask-whooshalchemy in an alternative way? Thank you in advance!
