You were so close. Through out your program you had been using browser as the WebDriver instance. But called through a differnt name webdriver in the line:
select = Select(webdriver.find_element_by_id("quickFindInput"))
You need to change the line as:
select = Select(browser.find_element_by_id("quickFindInput"))
