Using .filter in Django to see if title contains a certain string?

Question

My code is:

posts = Listing.objects.filter(title=q, is_live=1)

I need the equivalent of:

posts = Listing.objects.filter(q in title, is_live=1)

How can I just determine if a certain bit of text exists and isn't exactly equal to the query?

Answer 1

Try this:

posts = Listing.objects.filter(title__contains=q, is_live=1)
