django check within template if the current url has a particular word in it

Question

Similar to this question:

only I want to check if the url has a word in it - you know, like

if a.find(b) == -1

how can i do this?

downvoters - a comment about the question, perchance? – bharal Aug 16 '13 at 13:17 — bharal, Aug 16 '13 at 13:17

{% if b in request.path %}
    hello world!
{% endif %}

If that doesn't accomplish what you need then move the logic to your view or create a custom template tag.

to clarify: for this to work, you have to make sure to pass the request object to the template – miki725 Oct 14 '12 at 02:06
Note this doesn't search the GET parameters in the url – gdvalderrama Nov 29 '17 at 18:18

Forget request parameters and use:

{% if 'search_term' in request.GET %}
  Hello World!
{% endif %}
