autocomplete_light

[Vikas Rawal]

I am trying to use autocomplete_light on an admin form. I find the documentation extremely confusing. The google group for autocomplete_light seems defunct (my request for subscription has not been answered for two days). Does someone here use it?

The format of registry is not clear to me. I would like to enable autocompletes on some fields in a tabularinline model. Can somebody tell me the steps.

More specifically, I have two fields called "main_occupation" and "secondary_occupation" in a model called member. I would like it to be autocompleted from a model called CodeOccupation which has a field called "occupation". Can somebody tell me how to do it with autocomplete_light?

The documentation just gives some examples without adequately explaining what they are. In the discussion of the registry, for example, the documentation does not tell you what is the argument "search_fields". 

Is autocomplete_light defunct? Should I use something else instead?
