Don't forget your quotation marks around the filename.
> f.find(songsearch)
You _find_ stuff in strings, not in the file itself. Read each line of
the file one at a time, because each line will be a string.
for thisline in f:
if thisline.find(songsearch) > 0:
print thisline
#Also at the end of the program don't forget to close what you opened
f.close()
