What am I doing wrong? CRUD search

Can someone give me a hint and maybe clear up what I'm trying to do this challenge? Unsure what this is asking me exactly

crud.py 
from models import Challenge


def create_challenge(name, language, steps=1):
    Challenge.create(name=name,
                     language=language,
                     steps=steps)

def search_challenges(name, language):
        return Challenge.select().where(Challenge.name == name, Challenge.language == language)

def search_challenges(name, language):
        return Challenge.select().where(Challenge.name == name, Challenge.language == language)

Needs to be:

def search_challenges(name, language):
        return Challenge.select().where(Challenge.name.contains(name), Challenge.language == language)

Needs to be Challenge.name.contains(name). The directions say "name field contains name argument." I had to reread them a couple times to figure out why it wasn't passing.
