print(documentation_link.text)
anchor_xpath = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="search"]/div[2]/div[6]/div[1]/div/div'))
print(anchor_xpath.text)
# you can get xpath by right click and inspect > right click on element >
# >> copy >>> XPath
# you can also search by class selector

h1 = driver.find_element_by_name('h1')
h1 = driver.find_element_by_class_name('someclass')
h1 = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//h1')
h1 = driver.find_element_by_id('greatID')
