Re: Django query in DetailView

Hello,

I _think_ your code looks right to me, though the query / or_query code is confusing. Print statements could be helpful there to be sure it's actually filtering something.

Does this code work?

def searchcandidate(request):
    query_string = request.GET.get('q', '').strip()
    found_entries = []
    if query_string:
        found_entries = CandidateToJob.objects.order_by('-candidate')
        for term in query_string.split():  # or call your normalize_query() here
            q = Q()
            for field_name in ['candidate__user__first_name', 'candidate__user__last_name']:
                q |= Q(**{"%s__icontains" % field_name: term})
            found_entries.filter(q)
    return render(request, 'dashboard/candidates_results.html', {'query_string': query_string, 'found_entries': found_entries})
