Description

A useful feature we had added in Curse's Django was a QUERY_TERM for "containswords". The more thought that I put into it, it would make more sense just to have contains allow for lists.

What this would do:

MyModel.objects.filter(name__contains=('hello', 'there'))

SELECT 1 FROM tbl WHERE (name LIKE '%hello%' AND name LIKE '%there%')

It was a pretty quick and useful feature to help with search.

Closing this. There are a lot of other ways to achieve this and to me there's no reason why AND should be the default above OR.

PS: I have david's blessing
