Making search bar in django

Im trying to make a search bar in django and watched several youtube totorials and none of those worked. What im trying to do is either make a search bar that redirects to articles/what_you_searched_for or if not possible show up results that include search. If someone has enough time they can tell me how to do both :). in views.py:

def index(request):
    queryset = article.objects.all()
    number_of_records = article.objects.count()
    random_page = random.randint(1,number_of_records)
    context = {
        "object_list": queryset,
        "random_page": random_page
    }

#    query = ""
#    if request.GET:
#        query = request.GET['q']
#        context['query'] = str(query)


    entries = util.list_entries()
    return render(request, "encyclopedia/index.html", context)
    #{
        #"entries": util.list_entries(),
        #"random_page": random_page,
    #})
def dynamic_articles_view(request, my_id):
    obj = article.objects.get(id= my_id)
    number_of_records = article.objects.count()
    random_page = random.randint(1,number_of_records)
    context = {
        "object": obj,
        "random_page": random_page
    }
    return render(request, "encyclopedia/article_detail.html", context)

in index.html:

{% extends "encyclopedia/layout.html" %}

{% block title %}
    Encyclopedia
{% endblock %}

{% block body %}
<h1 id="demo" onclick="add_article()">Article</h1>


    <ul>

        {% for instance in object_list %}
            <li><a href = "http://127.0.0.1:8000/articles/{{instance.id}}/">{{instance.title}}</a></li>
        {% endfor %}

    </ul>

{% endblock %}

layout.html: ------------ SEARCH BAR HERE ---------

{% load static %}

                    <input class="search" type="text" name="q" placeholder="Search...">
                </form>
                <div>
                    <a href="{% url 'index' %}">Home</a>

            </div>
        </div>
    </body>
</html>

urls:

from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import include, path
from encyclopedia import views
from encyclopedia.views import index, new_article, dynamic_articles_view
urlpatterns = [
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
    path('', include("encyclopedia.urls")),
    path('new_article/', new_article),
    path('home/', index, name = 'home'),
    path('articles/<int:my_id>/', dynamic_articles_view, name = 'articless')
]

encyclopedia urls (other folder):

from django.urls import path

from . import views

urlpatterns = [
    path("", views.index, name="index"),
    path("", views.new_article, name="new_article")
]

if needed i will comment models and forms but i dont want to make my question to long.

Solution

Simplest way is to add a GET form in your template with a search input without setting the action of the form:

<form action="">
    <input type="text" name="search" placeholder="Search by title" value="{{request.GET.title}}">
    <input type="submit" value="Search">
</form>

Then in the views.py in the you get the value. If it's given, you filter by it:

def dynamic_articles_view(request):
    context['object_list'] = article.objects.filter(title__icontains=request.GET.get('search'))
    return render(request, "encyclopedia/article_detail.html", context)
