# AutoComplete for ForeignKey and ManyToManyField

uses same syntax as the search for django-admin

requirements

 * query.js (http://jquery.com/)

 * query.autocomplete.js

## Example

use a fairly simple

*models.py*

    class Type (models.Model):

    title = models.CharField()

    

    class Celebrity(models.Model):

        name = models.CharField()

    class Film(models.Model):

        type    = models.ForeignKey( Type )

        director= models.ManyToManyField( Celebrity, related_name="director")

        actor   = models.ManyToManyField( Celebrity, related_name="actor")

in m2m field need to specify related_name

*admin.py*

    from apps.autocomplete.widgets import *

  

    class FilmAdmin(AutocompleteModelAdmin):

        related_search_fields = { 

                'type': ('title',),

                'actor': ('^name',),

                'director': ('^name',),

        }

    admin.site.register( Film, FilmAdmin )

"related_search_fields" parameter is used to specify on what fields you want to search 'actor' and 'director' ties are the names given in "related_name" query syntax is similar to [searching in admin panel](http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/admin/#django.contrib.admin.ModelAdmin.search_fields)

I use the " 'actor': ('^name',) " operator ^ means the beginning of the field. and eventually will be formed about the substitution request form For example, if related_search_fieldsis set to ('^name',') and a user searches for john lennon, Django will do the equivalent of this SQL WHERE clause:

WHERE name ILIKE 'john%' AND name ILIKE 'lennon%'
