How to add custom search box in Django-admin?

Question

I know this is gonna be a very basic question.

In Django, I have successfully created an admin panel. Now I want to add a custom search box in one of my field namely Photo field. But I don't know how to add custom search box in a django-admin panel. If I get some proper hints than I believe that I can do it.

Admin.py:

from django.contrib import admin   from photo.models import Photo,  class PhotoAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):      list_display=('name','approved','approved_time','uploaded_time','user') 

models.py:

class Photo(models.Model):     name = models.CharField(max_length = 100)     photo = models.ImageField(upload_to = 'photos', blank=False,null=True)     approved = models.BooleanField(default = False)     approved_time = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True,null=True,blank=True)     uploaded_time = models.DateTimeField()     description = models.CharField(max_length = 500 , blank = False , null = True) keyword = models.CharField(max_length = 500 , blank = False , null = True)     image_id = models.CharField(max_length=300, blank=True, null=True)     Certified = models.BooleanField(default = False)     approved_by = models.CharField(max_length = 100)     user = models.ForeignKey(User)     total_download = models.IntegerField(default=0)     watermarked_image = models.ImageField(upload_to = 'temp', blank=True,null=True) 

I want to add a custom search box in this Photo field where image can be searched by it's ID.Now how can I add this search box in my above given model.

Use the search_fields attribute of the ModelAdmin:

class PhotoAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):     ...     search_fields = ['name', 'description', 'user__related_fieldname','keyword', ]
