Click the element with right locator, your button locator is wrong. Other code is looking good

try this 

browser=webdriver.Chrome()
browser.get("https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19035186/how-to-select-element-with-selenium-python-xpath")
z=browser.find_element_by_css_selector(".f-input.js-search-field")#use .for class and replace space with .
z.send_keys("geckodriver not working")
submi=browser.find_element_by_css_selector(".btn.js-search-submit")
submi.click()

<button type="submit" class="btn js-search-submit">
    <svg role="icon" class="svg-icon iconSearch" width="18" height="18" viewBox="0 0 18 18">
        <path d="..."></path>
    </svg>
</button>

You are trying to click on the svg. That icon is not clickable, but the button is.

So change the button selector to .btn.js-search-submit will work.
