[Fixed]-Filtering on foreign key table's attribute

You are using a boolean operator foo==bar where you should be using an assignment operator foo=bar.

Don’t do:

 book_item = Items.objects.filter(book__name==q)

Instead do:

book_item = Items.objects.filter(book__name=q)

When calling filter you want it to look through all the Items that have been created and return the Items that have a Book that has a name = (equal) to q (or what ever search variable you’re looking for).
