How to search objects in django using an instance of choicefield? - django

Question

This is my model:
class Profile(models.Model):
date = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
full_name = models.CharField(max_length=32,blank=True)
user_types = (
('Business User','Business User'),
('Professional','Professional'),
)
user_type = models.CharField(max_length=32,choices=user_types,default='Business User',blank=False)
user= models.OneToOneField(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL,on_delete=models.CASCADE)
e_mail = models.EmailField(max_length=70,blank=True)
As you can see the are two types of user in my Profile model Business User and Professional. So I want to make a query in django which will search only for the Professional users.
I have tried this in my views:
query = request.GET.get('q')
if query:
if Profile.objects.filter(user_type__icontains='Professional'):
result = Profile.objects.filter(Q(user__username__icontains=query) | Q(e_mail__icontains=query) | Q(full_name__icontains=query))
else:
result = Profile.objects.filter(user_type__icontains='Professional').order_by('id')
In my template:
<form method='GET' class="form-horizontal" id="search-form" action="{% url 'userprofile:search' %}">
<div class="col-lg-8 col-md-8 col-sm-8 col-xs-6">
<input class="form-control" name="q" value="{{request.GET.q}}" placeholder="Search">
</div>
<div >
<span class="input-group-btn">
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-info pull-right">Go</button>
</span>
</div>
</form>
But when I search for a Professional user it gives me list of all the user associated with that name.
Can anyone provide me with suitable solution for this.
Thank you

Solved It
Done the following in my view and it worked:
user_profile = Profile.objects.filter(user_type__icontains='Professional')
query = request.GET.get('q')
if query:
result = user_profile.filter(Q(user__username__icontains=query) | Q(e_mail__icontains=query) | Q(full_name__icontains=query))
else:
result = Profile.objects.filter(user_type__icontains='Professional').order_by('id')
