You could use Q objects to constuct a query like this:

from django.db.models import Q

ob_list = data.objects.filter(reduce(lambda x, y: x | y, [Q(name__contains=word) for word in list]))

Edit:

reduce(lambda x, y: x | y, [Q(name__contains=word) for word in list]))

is a fancy way to write

Q(name__contains=list[0]) | Q(name__contains=list[1]) | ... | Q(name__contains=list[-1])

You could also use an explicit for loop to construct the Q object.
