I think you should pass the queryset of the Model HashTag as you need to render out hashtag.search_text which is an element of that model.

So you can pass the queryset in the view and for loop through it and print all the search_text or pass the object alone and render out its search_text.

context = { 'queryset': qs }

{% for obj in queryset %}
   <p>{{ obj.search_text }}</p>
{% endfor %}

This is my guess, correct me if I am wrong. For a template to display something, you have to send context or data to that template to print, how can it print something when you don't send anything. So,

context.update({
        'hashtag': //value you want to send.
})
