Below is a model. All of my models are constructed in a similar fashion. I search for first names that I know exist, nothing. I search for last names that I know exist and nothing. If I search for 'mark' (at least 5 in my db) the console says this: [27/Oct/2007 21:55:39] "GET /admin/cases/person/?q=mark HTTP/1.1" 302 0 But it returns me to: http://localhost:8000/admin/cases/person/?e=1 with every Person in the db shown. I've tried it with '=first_name' also. ============= THE MODEL ============== class Person(models.Model): """This is a person. I suppose that is obvious, because the class name is 'person'?""" user = models.ForeignKey(User, related_name = 'person', unique=True, blank = True, null = True) group = models.ForeignKey(Group, null = True) salutation = models.CharField(maxlength = 5, blank = True, null = True) first_name = models.CharField(maxlength = 20, null = True) middle_name = models.CharField(maxlength = 20, null = True, blank = True) last_name = models.CharField(maxlength = 20, null = True) firm = models.ForeignKey(Firm, blank = True, null = True, related_name = 'people') location = models.ForeignKey('Location', related_name='people', null = True, blank = True) class Admin: js = ['tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js', 'js/textareas.js'] list_display = ('last_name', 'first_name', 'firm',) list_filter = ('group', 'firm',) ordering = ('-last_name',) search_fields = ('first_name', 'last_name', 'firm') list_select_related = True class Meta: verbose_name_plural = "People" def __unicode__(self): return '%s %s' % (self.first_name, self.last_name) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
