Search_alg not getting picked up (HyperOpt)

High: It blocks me to complete my task.

Hello!

I have been trying to use HyperOpt in my project. I have noticed when I run the code exactly as provided on the Ray Tune HyperOpt example page (Running Tune experiments with HyperOpt — Ray 2.34.0) I get the following output, however it appears that HyperOpt is not identified as the search algorithm! Please provide guidance:

Hi @TsK , thanks for pointing this out, I think it’s a bug in the ProgressReporter. In Ray Tune we will wrap the Searcher with SearchGenerator (link), and then prints the class name of the wrapper instead of the searcher (link).

This could be a good first issue for Ray contributors to fix! Let me know if you want to post a PR to fix it. Or I can do it on my side.
