Description (last modified by Ramiro Morales)

Documentation could be clearer in this area. The existing example

search_fields = ['foreign_key__related_fieldname']

is a bit confusing absent a real table and example of the sort

search_fields = [user__name]

or some such would be helpful as it took me, and I suspect many others, a bit of effort to discover the desired syntax.
