The current error message in the linear_search function says "An error occurred during binary search". This is misleading because the function is actually a linear search, not a binary search. The error message should be updated to reflect this.

Proposed Change:
Update the error message in the linear_search function from:
logging.exception("An error occurred during binary search: %s", e)

To :
logging.exception("An error occurred during linear search: %s", e)

This will help users better understand the nature of the error and what function it occurred in.

Thank you for considering my contribution. 🤍

I noticed that the searches directory of this repository does not currently contain a sequential search implementation. I would like to add this functionality by creating a new module in the searches directory. The module would contain a function called sequential_search that takes an input list and target value and returns the index of the target value in the list, or -1 if the target value is not found.
Please assign this issue to me and then I will create a new branch to add this code, and create a pull request once it is completed.
Thank you for considering this contribution.
