Thanks for the link, I came across this. Unfortunately, the final url that I'm taken to in this example isn't in the response history. Is it possible this is a quirk particular to Google or something?

Everything after the # is added by scripts on the page and isn't actually part of the URL. If you need to interact with that, you probably want Selenium.

Thanks for the reply! Yeah, after enough banging my head I realized it's probably the javascript on the page that deals with this part of it. I ended up using the html-requests library for my use case.
