You misspelled searchMore on line 159, so your loop is constantly triggering an error and then failing to break out. Note that you could just get rid of searchMore, turn it into a while True: loop, and put a break in the except clause. And the except clause should include the appropriate error (ValueError), so that other errors can propagate normally. Finally, input returns a string, so you don't need to convert it to one on line 123.
