I'm quite sure Jeff wasn't suggesting having anyone type the titles in twice. Rather, when something with a title is saved, you have code (maybe in a save() override) that automatically populates a "stripped" version of your title field, based on the value of the title that was entered. (There is a simple strip_tags function in django.utils.html.) Then, in the database, you have both the field you have now (which contains html tags like <em>) and a stripped version, and it is the stripped version that you search, since people aren't going to be entering the html tags when they are searching. > Is there a command where I could strip the tags out > after the keywords are typed but before python goes to the database to > search? ? From what you've said the <em> tags are in the data stored in the database, not in the query keywords. There's no way to strip the tags from the database data in order to do a search.
