In this tutorial I will show how to enable search feature in django admin. The search function in Django admin can be enabled and customised.
To enable search feature:
In your admin.py file, add a search fields property to the ModelAdmin class. This will activate the search option. You should mention the fields you want to search on in this attribute.
For Example:
from django.contrib import admin from .models import * class ProductAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin): list_display = ('name', 'description') search_fields = ['name', 'description'] # Enable search on these fields admin.site.register(Product, ProductAdmin)
