Describe the bug The EntitySearch python sdk returns NoneType as entity search results for query "RED BAY HOSPITAL". However on https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/cognitive-services/bing-entity-search-api/ it returns the correct entity.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install azure.cognitiveservices.search.entitysearch 2.0.0
2. Run following code from azure.cognitiveservices.search.entitysearch import EntitySearchClient from msrest.authentication import CognitiveServicesCredentials key = <your-key> client = EntitySearchClient('https://api.cognitive.microsoft.com', CognitiveServicesCredentials(key)) entity_data = client.entities.search(query="RED BAY HOSPITAL", market = 'en-US') if entity_data.entities.value: main_entities = [entity for entity in entity_data.entities.value if entity.entity_presentation_info.entity_scenario == "DominantEntity"] if main_entities: print(main_entities[0].description)

Expected behavior I expect no error

Hi @siminchengithub， Please update "if entity_data.entities.value:" to "if entity_data.places.value:" in code.

Because the Entity Search API lets you send a search query to Bing and get back search results that include entities and places:

• Place results include restaurants, hotel, or other local businesses. For places, the query can specify the name of the local business or it can ask for a list (for example, restaurants near me).
• Entity results include persons, places, or things. Place in this context is tourist attractions, states, countries, etc.

The detailed code is shown below for how to use rename_file (here is the official sample ):

from azure.cognitiveservices.search.entitysearch import EntitySearchClient  
from msrest.authentication import CognitiveServicesCredentials  

key = <your-key> 
client = EntitySearchClient('https://api.cognitive.microsoft.com', CognitiveServicesCredentials(key)) 

entity_data = client.entities.search(query="RED BAY HOSPITAL",market = 'en-US')  
# Your question appears this step. 
if entity_data.places.value: 
    hospital = entity_data.places.value[0] 
    try: 
        telephone = hospital.telephone 
        print( 
            'Searched for "RED BAY HOSPITAL" and found a hospital with this phone number:') 
        print(telephone) 
    except AttributeError: 
        print("Couldn't find a place!") 
else: 
    print("Didn't see any data..")
