[FIXED] Searching for a text that contains a particular text using BeautifulSoup

Issue

From the following html,

html = '''
<td>the keyword is present in the <a href='text' title='text'>text</a> </td>
<td>word key is not present</td>
<td>no keyword here</td>'''

I want to find the strings that that the word "keyword" them.

So in this example, I want to find

<td>the keyword is present in the <a href='text' title='text'>text</a> </td>
<td>no keyword here</td>

So I tried:

soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'lxml')
ans = soup.find_all('td', text=lambda l: l and 'keyword' in l)
print(ans)
# [<td>no keyword here</td>]

But this doesn't return the other line that has "keyword" in it. How do I go about it?

Solution

Try this:

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

html = '''
<td>the keyword is present in the <a href='text' title='text'>text</a> </td>
<td>word key is not present</td>
<td>no keyword here</td>'''

soup = BeautifulSoup(html , 'html.parser')
print(*[td for td in soup.find_all("td") if 'keyword' in td.text], sep='\n')

Output:

<td>the keyword is present in the <a href="text" title="text">text</a> </td>
<td>no keyword here</td>

You can use td.text for get text in <td> like below:

print(*[td.text for td in soup.find_all("td") if 'keyword' in td.text], sep='\n')

Output:

the keyword is present in the text 
no keyword here
