Advice on project structure

Hi there, I'm an experienced developer, but new to Django. I've experimented with Django over the years, but I'm now in the process of planning a medium sized Django app. We have an in-house support/email system written in python, but it needs an overhaul. :) The application will become a

What variable? The search term? So your search view gets the query and does the actual search, then stuffs results and search_term (or something) into the context, and passes search_term into the template tag? Making sure I got it, that does sound better. Thanks. On Mar 7, 4:25 pm, Alex

What's the best way to include a form in every page, such as a search form in the header? You could stuff a blank form in with a context processor, and override that variable in the actual search view so you can fill in the term that searched for. Or do people prefer a template tag? Or
