Following the tutorial, my polls/admin.py appears below. However, no
search field appears in Google Chrome or in Firefox. No error is thrown by
the django server either. I did not find any relevant google responses to
the issue, nor did I find it here in Trac.

Comment (by Patrick Kyne):
I've tested it with both the search_fields as:
{{{
search_fields = ['question_text']
}}}
-and-
{{{
search_fields = ['question_text', 'pub_date']
}}}
to see if there were any difference or error thrown. No difference. No
search field is displayed, and no error is thrown.

Comment:
For the search_field to show up in the Admin website, all that was needed
was to stop (Ctrl-C) and restart the django test server. Then the search
field shows up as desired.
Perhaps the documentation should be updated to state this.

Comment:
For the Search box to appear on the Admin website (and the search_fields
to function) a stop and restart of the django test server was required.
{{{
(Ctrl-C)
? python manage.py runserver
}}}
After that, the search box appeared and functioned as desired.
Perhaps the on-line tutorial should be updated to reflect this.
