Hey bro, you need to put a CSRF token inside the form. I was also hoping to see this implemented as a class-based view, but that's not a big deal. DON'T FORGET THE CSRF TOKEN!!!

The category is af Foreign key in the model and when I try to make Q(category__icontains=query) the page comes with this error: Related Field got invalid lookup: icontains and it is not possible to search for any of the categories from my database. Is there a speciel way you have to do it with the foreign keys or can anyone help me?
