Jesse,
The error you are getting is from "q" not being in your post
QueryDictionary. This happens because when you click next you are not
rePOSTing the q variable. Either you can put the q variable into an input
box and POST it again by making your next link a submit button, or you could
change q to a querystring parameter and use request.GET to retrieve it. This
makes it easier to pass on to future pages in your search by putting it into
the querystring for your next link as well.
I have solved this by putting another variable in my next link like this:
{% if page_obj.has_next %}
<a href="{% url search %}?q={{ request.REQUEST.q }}&page={{
page_obj.next_page_number }}">next</a>
{% endif %}
