You'd have to split() the string (probably on spaces, though I don't know exactly what you're going for,) then build a query that checks for each piece OR'd with every other piece. That would probably be the best way--check out: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/db/queries/#complex-lookups-with-q-objects
A simpler way (also naive) would be this: Entry.objects.filter(headline__in='Today Lennon Honoured'.split()) If you decide to go with the first approach, let me know--I can help you with the syntax. -Jeff On Mar 4, 8:01 am, koranthala <koranth...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > How do I implement a substring query? > Please find the example below. > From Django Documentation: > Entry.objects.get(headline__icontains='Lennon') > => This matches the headline 'Today lennon honoured' > > My query is the opposite: > I have the string 'Lennon' inside my DB, and I have to match 'Today > Lennon honoured' > Say: > Entry.objects.get(headline__isubstring='Today Lennon Honoured') > should return headline 'Lennon'. > > I checked iregex too, but I cannot seem to solve it myself.
