Search is case-sensitive.

I believe the queries should not be case-sensitive. Also, field lookups currently require exact value, shouldn't it have __contains.

You can use this FormFilter instead the default one, it implements no case_sensitive and also checks if the word is contained in the fields you are searching for:

`import six from django.core.exceptions import FieldDoesNotExist from django.forms.models import modelform_factory from django.db import models

class FormFilter: form = None

def __init__(self, request, form=None):
    if form:
        self.form = form
    self.request = request
    self.form_instance = self.form(request.GET)
    for key in self.form_instance.fields:
        self.form_instance.fields[key].required = False
    self.form_instance.is_valid()
    self.form_instance._errors = {}

def get_cleaned_fields(self):
    values = {}
    for value in self.form_instance.cleaned_data:
        rq_value = self.request.GET.get(value, '')
        if value and rq_value:
            data_value = self.form_instance.cleaned_data[value]
            if type(data_value) == models.QuerySet:
                if data_value.count() == 1:
                    data_value = data_value.first()
                elif '__in' not in value:
                    value = value + '__in'
            else:
                value = value + "__icontains"
            values[value] = data_value
    return values

def render(self):
    return self.form_instance

def get_filter(self, queryset):
    clean_value = self.get_cleaned_fields()
    if clean_value:
        queryset = queryset.filter(**clean_value)
    return queryset

def get_build_param(self, value, data, params):
    if isinstance(data, models.base.Model):
                data = str(data.pk)
    params.append("%s=%s" % (value, str(data)))
    return params

def get_params(self, exclude=[]):
    params = []
    for value in self.form_instance.cleaned_data:
        if value in exclude:
            continue
        rq_value = self.request.GET.get(value, '')
        if rq_value:
            data = self.form_instance.cleaned_data[value]
            if type(data) == models.QuerySet:
                for q in data:
                    params = self.get_build_param(value, q, params)
            else:
                params = self.get_build_param(value, data, params)
    return params`

`def get_filters(model, list_filter, request): fields = [] forms = [] for field in list_filter: if type(field) in [six.string_types, six.text_type, six.binary_type]:

this is a model field

        try:
            model._meta.get_field(field)
            fields.append(field)
        except FieldDoesNotExist:
            pass
    else:
        forms.append(field(request))

if fields:
    form = modelform_factory(model, fields=fields)
    forms.insert(0, FormFilter(request, form=form))

return forms`

I dont know why its not being well formated, sorry! :/

[A4TIF]

Actually, all that is not required. I just checked the docs, its very simple, just use: search_fields = ['description__icontains']

:)

[Seykotron]

Sorry, that code were for filter_fields not search_fields ^^
