Jesse,
You need to change your code in the view to look at the GET parameter rather
than POST. Change this line:
query = request.POST['q']
to:
query = request.GET['q']
Also, make sure when you are submitting to your search page that you are
submitting the page with GET in the method of your form. Your second method
of checking if query is valid then inserting it into the href looks fine,
you just need to change which method you are accessing it in your view.
