Hi,
There's probably a better way, but I would do like the code they use
in the admin, something like:
# 'query' is the query you want to run. It can be, for instance, "WLAN john"
or_query=Q()
search_fields = ['articles','author'] # and whatever field of the
articles you want to search
if query:
for bit in query.split():
or_queries = [models.Q(**{'%s__icontains' % field_name: bit})
for field_name in search_fields]
other_qs = QuerySet(self.model)
other_qs = other_qs.filter(reduce(operator.or_, or_queries))
return other_qs
Again, I borrowed (copied...) this code from one of the admin views,
and it works pretty well for me. But there's probably better way of
doing that.
Enjoy,
G
