Hi
Not sure I completely get your code. If client_search initially is a
variable holding a string I assume you're aware that declaring a
function with the same name will override the original variable...
When you write ´´first_name__icontains=client_search´´, is
client_search supposed to hold a string or function reference? I guess
it's the former.
Assuming the Client contains a many-to-many field called instruments
and each Instrument has a name field that you want to include in your
search, I think you should be able to write something like:
Client.objects.filter(Q(first_name__icontains=search_string) |
Q(last_name__icontains=search_string) |
Q(instruments__name__icontains=search_string)
).distinct()
Hope this helps. For more info please see the ManyToMany examples here:
