Using a foreign key in Model search_fields?

[step]

Hey guys, I can't figure this out.  I figured this might be something worth resolving on the mailing list as a reference.  

I'm trying to use a foreignkey in a Model's search_fields (search using a foreignkey).

Anyone have any idea?

settings.py

-----

(

    # Dotted path to field.

    "cartridge.shop.models.Product.artist",

    # Dotted path to field class.

    "ForeignKey",

    # Positional args for field class.

    ("app.Artist",),

    # Keyword args for field class.

    {"blank": False},

)

OPTION 1.

patches.py

----

Product.search_fields = {'keywords_string': 10, 'title': 5, 'artist': 5}

results in

----

"Related Field got invalid lookup: icontains"

OPTION 2

patches.py

----

Product.search_fields = {'keywords_string': 10, 'title': 5, 'artist__title': 5}

results in

----

"'Product' object has no attribute 'artist__title'"

Right, that those would be helpful :)  Here they are

And this would be:

Django==1.6.2

Mezzanine==3.0.9

I couldn't get this to work :(

Path of least resistance was to just add the field data to self.description

I have the exact same problem. Stephen is there any other solution different from just copying it to keywords/description or even one custom text field? (redundant)

However this may slightly increase DB storage, but in terms of performance it will be a bit faster, not having to join the extra table when searching.

You can now define search_fields across relations as of:
