python script execution from search template

My app is working fine with advanced xml but as per requirements of splunk 8.0 I have to shift to simple xml. This search works fine 

<searchTemplate>| script base64 __EXECUTE__ "$input$" "$operation$"</searchTemplate>

where base64 refers to a python script path and it takes two arguments as input e.g "abc" "encode".  Output is displayed using

<searchPostProcess> table answer | rename answer as Answer</searchPostProcess>

If i replace <searchTemplate> and <searchPostProcess> with just <search>, the script is not executed and no results are displayed.

Please help me figuring out how to accomplish get the desired output with <search>.
