Filtering content on navigation sidebar is useful if there is a lot of
content, but unnecessary if there is little content.
We also received inquiries about users mistakenly typing in the search
field and the content was lost.
We need the ability to make the filtering optional.

== Proposal

Add AdminSite.enable_nav_sidebar_filter and if it is false, hide the
search field.

Filtering content on navigation sidebar is useful if there is a lot of
content, but unnecessary if there is little content.

Also, It seems that users of our service are unintentionally making inputs
into the search field. We have received inquiries from them stating that
their content has disappeared.
To avoid user confusion, an option to disable Filtering content on
navigation sidebar is needed.

== Proposal

Add AdminSite.enable_nav_sidebar_filter and if it is false, hide the
search field.

If you wish to do this on your project you could overwrite the template
[https://github.com/django/django/blob/main/django/contrib/admin/templates/admin/nav_sidebar.html

the idea with the community and gain consensus. To do that, please
consider starting a new conversation on the

reach a wider audience and likely get extra feedback.

I'll close the ticket for now, but if there is a community agreement for
the feature request, you are welcome to come back to the ticket and point
to the forum topic, so we can then re-open it. For more details, please
see [https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/stable/internals/contributing/bugs-
