Answer 1

you can use django Q objects to do OR query,

or if you want to ANDyour queries together just use the current lookups as kwargs

seens = Finhall.objects.filter(
  name__icontains=query_string, 
  address__icontains=query_string
)

You should really consider full text search or haystack (which makes search easy) because icontains issues a %LIKE% which is not remotely scalable
