Thank you for showing me an interesting part of the documentation!
The following chapter (modifying-initial-manager-querysets) led me to
the solution of my problem! So by calling
MyModel.active_objects.filter(title__contains='D') I can use anything I
want, and I am still able to use the normal "objects" class for the
admin interface.
The syntax is a bit different than I expected, but it is also more
elegant than my previous approach :)
