Aha! Very nice. As a sidebar, you said you pass the filter string back to the template so it can apply filtering on the new data set. This makes me think that filtering is being done on the entire data set from the browser, instead of the server. Maybe I misunderstood, but if so, I would suggest filtering the data on Django's end and simply returning the filtered QuerySet. This may make the page load faster and would be scalable for larger lists where lots of records are being filtered by the client browser.
