I would expect that the `__iexact` filter for querying models only results
in string matches that possibly differ in case, however, it also matches
prefixes...
{{{
MyModel.objects.filter(name__iexact='king').all()
[<MyModel: KING>, <MyModel: King of Spain>, <MyModel: King of Holland>]
}}}
This looks more like `__icontains` to me... I expected only [<MyModel:
KING>]
