Selenium python : my current_url doesnt update after click

Im scraping a website where I need to retrieve values from the url when i click on a button providing different form values.
I have a problem: when i click the button and retrieve the current_url, the provided values in the forms doesnt reflect in the url which should be updated (it's a search button). There is no new tab created.
My code to retrieve the url value is :
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get(url)
arrlist = []
idlist = []
service=value
for i in key_list:
form = driver.find_elements(by=By.XPATH, value='//input[#id="geo_nav"]')
form[0].send_keys(i)
form2=driver.find_elements(by=By.XPATH, value='//input[#id="sev_nav"]')
form2[0].send_keys(service)
button=driver.find_elements(by=By.XPATH, value='//button[#data-role="filter-apply"]')
button[0].click()
time.sleep(5)
url=driver.current_url
print(dept)
print(i)
id=re.findall(r"(?<=\[population\]=)(\d{9})",url)[0]
arrlist.append(i)
idlist.append(id)
the button html code is :
<button class="filter-apply cta-navigate relative hide-mobile flex withNumber" data-role="filter-apply">
<p class="hide-mobile m-r-4">Appliquer</p>
<div class="svg relative">

I've tried to use
driver.switch_to.window(driver.window_handles[-1]);
following this post : Python Selenium Chromedriver - Can't Get current_url of new opened tab after click()
But I dont have tab or new windows issues.
I tried to click autocompletion lists in the 2 forms in inputand one of the form produces a modification of the url but not the other (the one of which effects on the url i need to monitor).
The form code that works is :
<form data-component="sev_nav_input" data-no-results="Sans résultats" data-default-pho="Services" data-selected-name="Achat compulsif" data-selected-id="5928" class="filter-input filter-services relative">

Can you make a function to navigate pages, and on each page do the actions you require. And with each call of the function use driver.switch_to.window to ensure you are on the latest page.
Although based on your edits, it now seems the issue is that you are having trouble locating and following one of the links on the pages.
def navigate(n):
""" Move through the pages. Select the relevant buttons on each page"""
window_after = driver.window_handles[0]
driver.switch_to.window(window_after)
if n == 0:
form = driver.find_elements(by=By.XPATH, value='//input[#id="geo_nav"]')
button = driver.find_elements(by=By.XPATH, value='//button[#data-role="filter-apply"]').click()
elif n == 1:
pass
# Do something
else:
pass
# Do something else
for i in range(3):
navigate(i)
time.sleep(3)

The solution was in fact linked to the autocompletion forms. They require you to click on the autocompletion suggestions so the button is actually working.
FYI, here is the full code to autocomplete with clicking the form, deleting the content, adding the content, clicking the list and clicking the button.
def get_city_locations(service):
url='url'
#options = Options()
#options.headless = True
driver = webdriver.Firefox()#options=options)
driver.get(url)
time.sleep(2)
buttoncookie = driver.find_elements(by=By.XPATH, value='//button[#class="cf2Lf6"]')
buttoncookie[0].click()
time.sleep(1)
form2 = driver.find_elements(by=By.XPATH, value='//input[#id="sev_nav"]')
form2[0].click()
time.sleep(1)
Static.clear_text(driver)
form2[0].send_keys(service)
time.sleep(1)
autocompleteservice = driver.find_elements(by=By.XPATH, value='//li[not(#class)]')
for f in autocompleteservice:
if f.text == service:
f.click()
df_pref=pd.read_csv('arrondissement_2022.csv',sep=',')
deptlist = []
arrlist = []
idlist = []
for i in df_pref['LIBELLE']:
df_dep=df_pref[df_pref['LIBELLE']==i]
dept = df_dep.loc[df_dep.index.values[0], 'DEP']
form = driver.find_elements(by=By.XPATH, value='//input[#id="geo_nav"]')
form[0].click()
time.sleep(1)
Static.clear_text(driver)
form[0].send_keys(i)
time.sleep(3)
autocompletelocation=driver.find_elements(by=By.XPATH, value='//li[not(#class)]')
cond=0
for a in autocompletelocation:
if a.text==i:
print ('condition ok')
cond=1
a.click()
break
time.sleep(3)
button=driver.find_elements(by=By.XPATH, value='//button[#data-role="filter-apply"]')
button[0].click()
time.sleep(3)
driver.switch_to.window(driver.window_handles[-1]);
url=driver.current_url
print(dept)
print(i)
print(url)
if cond==0:
id=0
else:
id=re.findall(r"(?<=\[population\]=)(\d{7,10})",url)[0]
print(f'id = {id}')
print('\n')
deptlist.append(dept)
arrlist.append(i)
idlist.append(id)
df0 = pd.DataFrame({"dept": deptlist, "arrondissement":arrlist,"id":idlist})
df0.to_csv('arr_id.csv',sep=';',index=False)

send keys to 'display : block' modal in python selenium

I am having trouble sending keys using selenium.
What I want to do is, I want to send_keys('samsung')
BUT, since 'style = display' is changing from 'none' to 'block' when I click it, I cannot send keys.
<div class="modal-search modal-search-analysis" id="analysisSearchModal" style="display: none; transform: translate(0px, 0px); opacity: 1;">
after click
<div class="modal-search modal-search-analysis" id="analysisSearchModal" style="display: block; transform: translate(0px, 0px); opacity: 1;">
Here are the element
this webpage's modal is not in iframe, it's in div.
<div class="modal-search modal-search-analysis" id="analysisSearchModal" style="display: block; transform: translate(0px, 0px); opacity: 1;">
<div class="modal-search-analysis-keyword" data-tooltip-container="">
<input type="text" name="searchKeywordf714s6nggsw" id="searchKeywordf714s6nggsw" data-index="f714s6nggsw" class="input-style type1 x-small modal-search-analysis-keyword-input search-input input-text" placeholder="Type search keyword" maxlength="15" tabindex="1">
Here are codes that I've been trying
browser.find_element(By.CLASS_NAME, "vbtn btn-submit").click() #click search button
time.sleep(3)
input = browser.find_element(by=By.XPATH, value = '//*[#id="searchKeywordn7ssjvuykn"]')
input.send_keys('samsung')
I've also tried this code
browser.find_element(By.CLASS_NAME, "vbtn btn-submit").click()
time.sleep(3)
container = browser.find_element(by=By.XPATH, value = '//*[#id="analysisSearchModal"]')
browser.execute_script("argments[0].style.display = 'block';", container)
input = browser.find_element(by=By.XPATH, value = '//*[#id="searchKeywordn7ssjvuykn"]')
input.send_keys('samsung')
Thank you for those who can help me solve this problem:)

I can see in your html page id = "searchKeywordf714s6nggsw"
but you are using id="searchKeywordn7ssjvuykn"

Looping over multiple tooltips

I am trying to get names and affiliations of authors from a series of articles from this page (you'll need to have access to Proquest to visualise it). What I want to do is to open all the tooltips present at the top of the page, and extract some HTML text from them. This is my code:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionChains
browser = webdriver.Firefox()
url = 'http://search.proquest.com/econlit/docview/56607849/citation/2876523144F544E0PQ/3?accountid=13042'
browser.get(url)
#insert your username and password here
n_authors = browser.find_elements_by_class_name('zoom') #zoom is the class name of the three tooltips that I want to open in my loop
author = []
institution = []
for a in n_authors:
print(a)
ActionChains(browser).move_to_element(a).click().perform()
html_author = browser.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="authorResolveLinks"]/li/div/a').get_attribute('innerHTML')
html_institution = browser.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="authorResolveLinks"]/li/div/p').get_attribute('innerHTML')
author.append(html_author)
institution.append(html_institution)
Although n_authors has three entries that are apparently different from one another, selenium fails to get the info from all tooltips, instead returning this:
author
#['Nuttall, William J.',
#'Nuttall, William J.',
#'Nuttall, William J.']
And the same happens for the institution. What am I getting wrong? Thanks a lot
EDIT:
The array containing the xpaths of the tooltips:
n_authors
#[<selenium.webdriver.remote.webelement.WebElement (session="277c8abc-3883-
#43a8-9e93-235a8ded80ff", element="{008a2ade-fc82-4114-b1bf-cc014d41c40f}")>,
#<selenium.webdriver.remote.webelement.WebElement (session="277c8abc-3883-
#43a8-9e93-235a8ded80ff", element="{c4c2d89f-3b8a-42cc-8570-735a4bd56c07}")>,
#<selenium.webdriver.remote.webelement.WebElement (session="277c8abc-3883-
#43a8-9e93-235a8ded80ff", element="{9d06cb60-df58-4f90-ad6a-43afeed49a87}")>]
Which has length 3, and the three elements are different, which is why I don't understand why selenium won't distinguish them.
EDIT 2:
Here is the relevant HTML
<span class="titleAuthorETC small">
<span style="display:none" class="title">false</span>

UPDATE:
#parishodak's answer, for some reason does not work using Firefox, unless I manually hover over the tooltips first. It works with chromedriver, but only if I first hover over the tooltips, and only if I allow time.sleep(), as in
for i in itertools.count():
try:
tooltip = browser.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="resolverCitation_previewTrigger_' + str(i) + '"]')
print(tooltip)
ActionChains(browser).move_to_element(tooltip).perform() #
except NoSuchElementException:
break
time.sleep(2)
elements = browser.find_elements_by_xpath('//*[#id="authorResolveLinks"]/li/div/a')
author = []
for e in elements:
print(e)
attribute = e.get_attribute('innerHTML')
author.append(attribute)`

The reason it is returning the same element, because xpath is not changing for all the loop iterations.
Two ways to deal:
Use array notation for xpath as described below:
browser.find_elements_by_xpath('//*[#id="authorResolveLinks"]/li/div/a[1]').get_attribute('innerHTML')
browser.find_elements_by_xpath('//*[#id="authorResolveLinks"]/li/div/a[2]').get_attribute('innerHTML')
browser.find_elements_by_xpath('//*[#id="authorResolveLinks"]/li/div/a[3]').get_attribute('innerHTML')
Or
Instead of find_element_by_xpath use find_elements_by_xpath
elements = browser.find_elements_by_xpath('//*[#id="authorResolveLinks"]/li/div/a')
loop over elements and use get_attribute('innerHTML') on each element in loop iteration.

element is not clicked [selenium]

I am using selenium2library(python) for our automation. this is the method is used
def get_appointment_from_manage(self, date, appt_id):
ref_date = "//*[#data-date=\"%s\"]" % date
time.sleep(2)
logging.info(date)
logging.info(appt_id)
while not self.is_element_present_by_xpath(ref_date) :
self._current_browser().find_element_by_xpath("//*[#id=\"calendar1\"]/div[1]/div[3]/div/button[2]").click();
time.sleep(2)
element = self._current_browser().find_element_by_xpath("//*[#data-aid=\"%s\"]" % appt_id)
logging.info(element)
ActionChains(self._current_browser()).move_to_element(element).click().perform()
The logging states that the element was found but it doesn't click.
this is the part that isn't clicking.
element = self._current_browser().find_element_by_xpath("//*[#data-aid=\"%s\"]" % appt_id)
logging.info(element)
ActionChains(self._current_browser()).move_to_element(element).click().perform()
When you inspect the element, the whole element is covered in blue. So I don't know what am i missing. Firefox version is 28. Thanks in advance!
EDIT
This is the html
<div class="fc-event-container">
<div class="fc-event-box" style="position:relative;z-index:1"></div>
<div data-aid="31" class="fc-event-data-container fc-status-2" style="position:absolute;top:0px;right:0;bottom:-62px;left:0;z-index:1">
<div class="fc-event-data-box">
<a class="fc-time-grid-event fc-event fc-start fc-end evnt-1419408000000" style="top: 0px; bottom: -62px; z-index: 1; left: 0%; right: 0%;">
<div class="fc-content">
<div class="fc-time" data-start="8:00" data-full="8:00 AM - 8:30 AM" style="display:none;">
<span>8:00 - 8:30</span>
</div>
<div class="fc-title">Robot-FN</div>
<span class="fc-product">Home Loans</span>
</div>
<div class="fc-bg"></div>
</a>
</div>
</div>
</div>

I'm not sure this what you are trying, but if you want to click on the <a> tag (which is clickable), then, you need to hold that element, not the <div> that contains it.
try somthing like this: (I didn't try this xpath so take it as a general idea)
element = self._current_browser().find_element_by_xpath("//*[#data-aid=\"%s\"]//a" % appt_id)
