django template: get dictionary value

My view function does the following:

search_parameters = {"words": "hello"}
return render('mypage.html', {'results': results, 'search_parameters':search_parameters})

In my template, I thought I could get "hello" by writing:

{{search_parameters.words}}

but it's blank.

What does work is looping through every value like so

{% for key,value in search_parameters.items %}

but I'd really like to avoid doing that every time I need to get a value from the dictionary.

Like miki725 have pointed out, you're missing the request arg

search_parameters = {"words": "hello"}
return render( request, 'mypage.html', {'results': results, 'search_parameters':search_parameters} )

then you could do {{ search_parameters.words }} as you wish
