36881	Documented list of supported fields for ModelAdmin.search_fields is inaccurate	Tim Graham	Amar	"Since Django 1.0, the documentation for `ModelAdmin.search_fields` has said, ""These fields should be some kind of text field, such as CharField or TextField."", however, this isn't the extent of what's supported. For example, in the test in 76ccce64cc3d66cfec075651c3d2239fda747dc2 uses `search_fields = ['child__name', 'child__age']` (the latter is an `IntegerField`) and   6bc4ff36db0d85ac96ca91ae758159ee43836f86 tests `search_fields = ['group__pk']`. That said, there may be performance issues with non-integer fields, see ticket:26001#comment:24, so it may be prudent to try to address that first, or at least document the caveats of using non-string fields."
