In ModelAdmin, `get_search_result` uses an ''inner'' function
`construct_search` to add the __icontains , istartswith, iexact

It can be much easier for more customization, if construct_search function
was override-able.

FYI, My Case is: i can not add a related id field to search_fields...
have to use traversing .

{{{
class MyAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
search_fields = ['client_id', # wont work
'client__id' # will work ]

}}}
