Hi Jun Ching,

In your database call statement you combined both conditions into one which theChallenge.content.contains. You need to break this down into two separate conditions 1) the first is to check that the content contains the name and 2) the second is that the language equals to the argument you passed as language like this:

Challenge.select().where(Challenge.content.contains(name), Challenge.language == language)
