I have two questions that are in the quiz?
first
Name the following group "name".
re.search(r'( [\s\w]+)', 'Kenneth Love')
I was doing
re.search(r'(?P<name>[\s\w]+)', 'Kenneth Love')
like I did the challenge but it would either freeze up my browser or fail.
any one else having problems with this not working? is my code correct???

Your answer is very close. You just left off naming the group:
re.search(r'(?P<name>[\s\w]+)', 'Kenneth Love') #<-- Added <name>
