how to hide parameters from URL in django?

Vote count:

One of my view redirects to a another URL which looks something like this:

http://ift.tt/1eWHwsE

I want to hide all the parameters that is passed and instead have my "unicode" in there. I only want to hide them. I do not want to remove them. Meaning, I need those parameters to process in the next view.

Currently I have:

Models.py

class Searches(models.Model):
    SELLER_CHOICES=(('OWNER','owner'),
                    ('DEALER','dealer'),
                    ('BOTH','both'), )
    #search_id = models.IntegerField(primary_key=True)
    user = models.ForeignKey(User)
    make = models.CharField(max_length=100, blank=True)
    model = models.CharField(max_length=100, blank=True)
    keywords = models.CharField(max_length=100, blank=True)
    max_price = models.IntegerField(blank=True, null=True)
    min_price = models.IntegerField(blank=True, null=True)
    max_year = models.IntegerField(blank=True, null=True)
    min_year = models.IntegerField(blank=True, null=True)
    pic_only = models.NullBooleanField()
    search_title_only = models.NullBooleanField()
    owner_dealer_all = models.CharField(max_length=10,choices=SELLER_CHOICES,verbose_name='owner/dealer')
    class Meta:
        #managed = False
        db_table = 'Searches'
        verbose_name_plural = "Searches"

    def __unicode__(self):
        return "%s %s %s-%s" %(self.make,self.model,self.max_year,self.min_year)

    def get_absolute_url(self):
        #slug=
        #return reverse('postings.views.detail',args=[model_to_dict(self)])
        #return reverse('postings.views.detail',args=[str(self.id)])
        return reverse('display_postings_results', args=[model_to_dict(self)])

URLpatterns:

urlpatterns = patterns('',
                       url(r'^results/(?P<args>.*)/$',
                           'postings.views.detail',name='display_postings_results'),
                       )

view ( I will do more processing with the incoming args. but this is the simplest example)

def detail(request,args):
    return HttpResponse(args)

currently, it is working fine. and it displays the passed the args in the browser. but the URL is ugly. I want to hide that and pass some kind of slug. but still pass the args to the view
