Problem description
Hi - thank you for building this package, it's great! I am new to python and Bloomberg and was exploring the functionalities, and wanted to check if anyone knew why I was experiencing this behavior with the BSRCH function. I am able to run bdh functions, but BSRCH gives an error. Am I required to do any extra setup on Bloomberg/python?
Secondly, what are the possible things I can use BSRCH to pull out? Is there any documentation I can read to figure that out?

Code Sample, a copy-pastable example if possible
