Re: Search results in template

The template context says I have a queryset

I see it there. Can you post up the model for Entry?

And so does the selection

Yes. It appears that you will have 4 results in your queryset.

I put print statements in the view:

##########

Quit the server with CONTROL-C.

This is the value of query:  SearchQuery(eaa)

This is the value of QuerySet:  <QuerySet [('2017-10-09 Incentive, a further review', 0.151982), ('2017-11-14  Pulling The Trigger', 0.151982), ('2017-10-05 A Failure of Incentive?', 0.121585), ('2017-10-20 spider refactor', 0.121585)]>

[26/Dec/2017 18:57:31] "GET /serp/?q=eaa HTTP/1.1" 200 66580

##########

At this point, the view doesn't appear to be the problem. We need to start tracking things down in the template code.

Note this is all done through my simple html search form, defined in the template. My Django Form, SearchBox(), does absolutely nothing, as if it isn't connected to anything. I don't understand what the problem there is, I can't show that this is related or not. I do know I'd rather have the functionality than a pretty form.

No reason you can't have both, but let's work on the result display issue first.

An ordinary ListView of all objects works normally, as does my DetailView. I have tried several times to re-write views.serp as a cbv with get_context_data, but either context or request or Searchbox() end up being undefined, or an ImportError.

Are you overriding get_context_data() correctly? It doesn't sound like it.

Finally, a screenshot of my search page, with four spaces for the 4 entries that correctly correspond to the query 'eaa'. They just aren't there.

This is where the problem is, I think.

You should set up a simple loop in your template:

<ul>

{% for obj in QuerySet %}

<li>{{obj}}</li>

{% empty %}

<li>No results</li>

{% endfor %}

If that works, you should go deeper per your Entry model:

<ul>

{% for obj in QuerySet %}

<li>{{obj.name}}: {{obj.weight}}</li>

{% empty %}

<li>No results</li>

{% endfor %}

I'm using name and weight as an attribute of Entry, but you should use something that matches your model definition. I think the issue is that you are not referring to your model correctly within the search results within the template.
