Question

How can I query/filter in Django and ignore the cases of my query-string?

I\'ve got something like and like to ignore the case of my_parameter:

Answer 1

I solved it like this:

MyClass.objects.filter(name__iexact=my_parameter)

There is even a way to use it for substring search:

MyClass.objects.filter(name__icontains=my_parameter)

There's a link to the documentation.
