Admin Search

Just curious, I don't see much in the docs about this but how exactly does the search in the admin work for modules. I have one module where the display_field is set to the DB field `description` and it searches great on that field but not on any other field. Is there a way to force the fields that are searched on?

    Yes. You can use the model property "filters" and specify an array of model fields you want to include in the search. There is also a "filter_join" property which can be either "and" or "or" or an array with the key being the field name and the value being either "and" or "or".
    public $filters = array('description', 'title', 'name', 'excerpt');
    Lastly, you can always overwrite your list_items method to include joins, additional selects, etc (some of the existing fuel models do this already).
