I'm trying to have the user input a word and once that happens I try to print the findall method with the variable as the pattern inside of the findall method. I didn't know if you are allowed to do this or not but when I run the program. I get an empty list as my result. I was just wondering if I could help with this. Here's my code:

word = input("Enter the word to search for: ")
print(re.findall('word', f.read()))

I tried looking online on how to use findall method, but I don't know that much about the re module so I could use some help.
