django icontains with __in lookup

Question

So I want to find any kind of matching given some fields, so for example, this is what I would like to do:

possible_merchants = [\"amazon\", \"web\", \"servi         


        

Answer 1

This is the approach that I adopted:

class MyManager(models.Manager):
    def exclusive_in(self, lookup, value_list):
        return self.filter(reduce(or_, (Q(**{lookup:_}) for _ in value_list)))

Here is now to use it:

Companies.objects.exclusive_in('name__icontains', possible_merchants])

It was inspired by other answers in this thread, as well as Django filter queryset __in for *every* item in list.
