Description (last modified by Ryu)


Filtering content on navigation sidebar is useful if there is a lot of content, but unnecessary if there is little content.
Also, It seems that users of our service are unintentionally making inputs into the search field. We have received inquiries from them stating that their content has disappeared.
To avoid user confusion, an option to disable Filtering content on navigation sidebar is needed.

Proposal

Add AdminSite.enable_nav_sidebar_filter and if it is false, hide the search field.

If you wish to do this on your project you could overwrite the template admin/nav_sidebar.html to be empty, see customizing the admin index page.

Otherwise, to way to request new features is to first propose and discuss the idea with the community and gain consensus. To do that, please consider starting a new conversation on the Django Forum, where you'll reach a wider audience and likely get extra feedback.

I'll close the ticket for now, but if there is a community agreement for the feature request, you are welcome to come back to the ticket and point to the forum topic, so we can then re-open it. For more details, please see the documented guidelines for requesting features.
