I need some information to debug that new problem. What is your python version and how do you invoke the program?

[chicoriagithub]

my version is 👍
Python 2.7.15rc1 (default, Nov 12 2018, 14:31:15)
[GCC 7.3.0] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

i open the terminal and write yahooticketdowloader.py

I could not reproduce this problem using Python 2.7.15rc1 on Ubuntu 18:10.

Which version of Yahoo-ticker-symbol-downloader do you use?

Hi,
I am using the last version of Yahoo-ticker-symbol-downloader (3.0.1) with Python 3.6.7 (v3.6.7:6ec5cf24b7, Oct 20 2018, 12:45:02) [MSC v.1900 32 bit (Intel)] on win32.
I just wanted to know if you are working on it or if you have any workaround.

I have had the same issue with the "null" search term.I think that the issue is on the Yahoo side, not on the python side.
If you type the URL (https://finance.yahoo.com/_finance_doubledown/api/resource/searchassist;searchTerm=null?device=console&returnMeta=true) in a browser, you'll get some kind of yahoo homepage, not at all the expected result.
I have edited the "_fetch" method of SimpleSymbolDownloader" and added a test on "null":

if self.current_q != "null": params = { 'searchTerm': self.current_q, } else: params = { 'searchTerm': "nulll", }
Quick and dirty...

Thank you Benny for providing this amazing tool.
Also, thank you Bruno-Hanzen! Your fix works.
