search in manyToMany fields in admin page

[web@…]

hi,

what should i place here to search into the phones while I'm in the student admin page

class studentAdminView(admin.ModelAdmin):
	#fields = ['firstName', 'lastName']
	#list_filter = ('birthDate')
	list_display = ('firstName', 'lastName')
	#date_hierarchy = 'birthDate'
	#list_display_links = ('firstName', 'lastName')
	list_per_page = 1
	search_fields = ['firstName','lastName']

class phone_type(models.Model):
	type = models.CharField(max_length=20)

class phone(models.Model):
	number = models.CharField(max_length=20)
	phone_type_id = models.ForeignKey(phone_type)

class student(models.Model):
	classNumber = models.CharField(max_length=20)
	firstName = models.CharField(max_length=100)
	lastName = models.CharField(max_length=100)
	image = models.ImageField(upload_to='uploads')
	branch = models.CharField(max_length=100)
	birthDate = models.DateField('Birth Date',default=datetime.now)
	phones = models.ManyToManyField(phone)

I want to search between phones for example a number which is in phone table

select * from student 
innerjoin studentPhone on student.id = studentPhone.studentId
innerjoin phone on phone.id = studentPhone.phoneId

This reads like a user question, not a code bug or even an enhancement request. If it is indeed a user question you are better off asking it on django-users, which far more people read and will likely be happy to offer suggestions. If you think you've found a bug you need to spell it out more clearly.

my question is refered to usage of the admin page not a bug or something else in django

the question is how to register a table or a python model class without viewing in the main admin page and usage of the many to many fileds

So, as Karen noted, it's a question, not a bug report. Please ask questions on the django-users mailing list where there are a lot of people willing to help. We use Trac for bug reports only, not for "how do I..." questions.
