Question

I’m using jquery autocomplete and following view to display list of objects in inputfiled. It worked.

#views
m = M.objects.filter(title__istartswith=q)
results = [ x.title for x in m ]
json = simplejson.dumps(results)
return HttpResponse(json, mimetype="application/json")

This view searching objects from one model. What should I have to do If I’ve to search from another model too? Like

  He (From M Model)
  hel (From M Model)
# hell (From P Model)

So also I want to search from P Model. Thank you 🙂

You could just add two lists like that:

m1 = M1.objects.filter(title__istartswith=q)
m2 = M2.objects.filter(title__istartswith=q)
results = [x.title for x in m1] + [x.title for x in m2]

Don’t forget to limit results somehow.
