Regardless, this code should return a dictionary of results from your search link, link

from pytube import Search

s = Search('Your search here')
searchResults = {}
for v in s.results:
  searchResults[v.title] = v.watch_url

To return a list of URLs:

from pytube import Search

s = Search('Your search here')
searchResults = []
for v in s.results:
  searchResults.append(v.watch_url)
