Advanced Search in django admin

This is an example on how to create a custom advanced search (like the google advanced search page) in the admin app instead of the basic search field. you need to override 2 template of the admin so in your templates/admin folder copy the html files from the original admin app as follow: change_list.html: add the name of the module of the templatetag at the top where there is the load command from: {% load adminmedia admin_list i18n %} to: {% load adminmedia admin_list custom_search_form i18n %} and on line 87 (circa) you need to load our custom template tag something like: {% block search %}{% advanced_search_form cl %}{% endblock %} search_form.html: put your form inside the <form> tags with {{asf}} should be enough (I have also removed cl.value from the input text field because would be to complex to reload form values too ) probably would be better to create 2 new clean template and extend them but I'll leave that as an exercise for the reader :) many thanks to [Peter Baumgartner to get me in the right direction after his post](http://lincolnloop.com/blog/2011/jan/11/custom-filters-django-admin/) Currently ordering in the admin panel doesn't work if you find a way to get it work please write a comment
