With new version of google xgoogle doesn't work anymore, i add this mod in search.py and now work fine:

def _extract_results(self, soup):
results = soup.findAll('li','g')

and

def _extract_description(self, result):
desc_div = result.find('span', 'st'))

thanks!

In search.py in the xgoogle folder, look for two methods named _extract_results and _extract_description .
Change the assignment variables for results and desc_div to the new ones given. Old code has been commented out below and new code is present. Thanks securda!!! This works like a charm. :)

First method to change:
def _extract_results(self, soup):
#results = soup.findAll('li', {'class': 'g'})
results = soup.findAll('li','g')

Second method to change:
def _extract_description(self, result):
#desc_div = result.find('div', {'class': re.compile(r'\bs\b')})
desc_div = result.find('span', 'st')
