You're being pretty unclear, but I would guess that you were trying to
use this class in some fashion as

os.path.walk(dir, filesearch.search, 'dummy_arg')

If that's the case, the error is coming from the fact that
filesearch.search is an unbound method.   To correct it, you need to do
something like this, instead:

filesearch_instance = filesearch()
os.path.walk(dir, filesearch_instance.search, 'dummy_arg')

You will probably also need to amend the argument signature of the
search method.  It will probably need to take three arguments, not one.
