I am trying to make a search field in a template and connect it back to my database so I can "find" stuff.

I found this in the django docs:

>>> Author.objects.filter(name__unaccent__icontains='Helen')  [<Author: Helen Mirren>, <Author: Helena Bonham Carter>, <Author: Hélène Joy>]

which is helpful, but I'm having trouble connecting to my template:

<input type="search" />

I'm not sure what to call my variable or how to integrate it into models. All of the existing stuff I can find is django 1.

 

Thanks!
