In your settings.py

    'django_like',

)

Or apply some of the next patches (This is not neccesary, you can install the app):

• Django 1.4

Usage

Anything that you can to do with like sentence in SQL

MyModel.objects.filter(field_name__like='xx%YY%zz')
MyModel.objects.filter(field_name__ilike='xx%yy%zz')
User.objects.filter(username__like='a%in')

It is more quick that something like this, and more readable:

MyModel.objects.filter(field_name__regex='^xx.*YY.*zz$')

This app provider two new lookups: like and ilike.

Now you can compare the time it takes to run the same query, many times, with like and with regex
