different length queries

Hello,

Could you please advice if it is possible and where i could read OR at
least that keywords should search for the following question.

Is there a way to submit List = [Q(word__starts='search_input'),
Q(date='search_input') ,....]
to model.objects.filter (List).
How i have to formulate such list?

My query may contain from 1 to tens of restrictions
i.e. query with 1 item:
object. all.filter(Q(word__starts='search_input'))
versus query with 3 items:
object. all.filter( Q(word__starts='search_input') ,
Q(date='search_input') , Q( smth_else='search_input') )

I know only programming basics and in order to execute selected
queries i have to write many if sentences.
i.e. query with 1 item:
if (word): object. all.filter(Q(word__starts='search_input'))

versus query with 3 items:
if (word & date & smth_else ): object.
all.filter( Q(word__starts='search_input') ,
Q(date='search_input') , Q( smth_else='search_input') )

Number of combination is very huge. Is there a way to submit a List
containing [Q(word__starts='search_input'),
Q(date='search_input') ,....]
How i have to formulate such list?

P.s. In sqlite3 i can make a string in for cycle:

## for key in DSearch.keys():
## str2=str2+' ( '+str(key)+' LIKE '+item+')
AND'
## instead of LIKE i use one more if-elif cycle for search_method
starts, contains, ends, equal
## if (str2!=''):
## str3=str2[:-4]+' );'
## cursor.execute(st3);
## transaction.commit_unless_managed()
## ans=cursor.fetchall()

I would like to use Django.
