Hello all,
as it's my first post, if any django developer around, nice work! I 
appreciate the package, I've been able to pull a small project I had in 
mind for long, very easily with this.

I am needing help with one part of the Views.
I'm using a generic.ListView, nothing fancy, but then, as the list can get 
really big, I am trying to create a search box for it. I've read around of 
using get method, which is fine for me, but when I get into the view, and I 
override get_queryset I never find the kwargs dictionary to work the 
search. 
I also tried overriding get method but I didn't find the args either. 
I found a code on stackoverflow which seems to be what I am looking for, 
but it always return all(), even when django-debug-toolbar tells me the 
request was made with get data, the View doesn't show up any kwargs

Do anyone has a suggestion? related to both why I am not getting the kwargs 
and what's the best way to implement a search box on a ListView?
consider I am new to this
Thanks!
regards

---- code ---
    def get_queryset(self):
        try:
            name = self.kwargs['name']
        except:
            name = ''
        if (name != ''):
            object_list = self.model.objects.filter(name__icontains = name)
        else:
            object_list = self.model.objects.all()
        return object_list

---debug ---
View function     Arguments     Keyword arguments     URL name
mymodel.views.MyModelListView   ()  {}  index
