Answer 1

Welcome to Stack Overflow!

You can use the .click() method to click an element object, and the .find_element_by_xpath() method to find the element. I've located that the element's full XPATH is /html/body/div/div/div[3]/div[3]/div/form/fieldset/div[5]/input[2] .

You can implement all the pieces together like so:

driver.find_element_by_xpath("/html/body/div/div/div[3]/div[3]/div/form/fieldset/div[5]/input[2]").click()

Answer 2

if you are starting I recommend you using some extension to help you find the xPath of the elements. I used Xpath Helper from Chrome, but you can use any other.

The Xpath of the Search button is:

/html[@class='js']/body/div[@id='idox']/div[@id='pa']/div[@class='container'][2]/div[@class='content']/div[@class='tabcontainer']/form[@id='weeklyListForm']/fieldset/div[@class='buttons']/input[@class='button primary']

After you have the XPath you can use it in the selenium driver to find the elements.

This can be enough, but I recommend you to learn in depth how this works to know exactly what it is doing.
