Editing a search view in Django
Hello I am working in django how to use a search form from Django documents site. Here are some information below. Now, is there a way I can produce a part search for title? For example if I wanted to search for a book called "Apress", But instead of typing the whole word I just wrote "ap" to get Apress. Is there a way how to achieve this solution?
from django.db.models import Q
from django.shortcuts import render_to_response
from models import Book
#views.py
def search(request):
query = request.GET.get('q', '')
if query:
qset = (
Q(title__icontains=query) |
Q(authors__first_name__icontains=query) |
Q(authors__last_name__icontains=query)
)
results = Book.objects.filter(qset).distinct()
else:
results = []
return render_to_response("books/search.html", {
"results": results,
"query": query
})
#search html
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN">
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>Search{% if query %} Results{% endif %}</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Search</h1>
<form action="." method="GET">
<label for="q">Search: </label>
<input type="text" name="q" value="{{ query|escape }}">
<input type="submit" value="Search">
</form>
{% if query %}
<h2>Results for "{{ query|escape }}":</h2>
{% if results %}
<ul>
{% for book in results %}
<li>{{ book|escape }}</l1>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
{% else %}
<p>No books found</p>
{% endif %}
{% endif %}
</body>

If you want to match on the beginning of a field, you can use startswith or istartswith if you want it to be case sensitive. icontains which you are using now will allow matches even within strings, ie. 'arry' will match 'Harry'. While startswith will allow 'Har' to match 'Harry', but not 'ArHarHar'
