👋 everyone!

Just published a package: [django-admin-site-search](https://github.com/ahmedaljawahiry/django-admin-site-search). Grateful for any early testers and/or feedback 🙏

![demo](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/djangoproject/original/2X/9/9da7780f2f5f18da21ae06aa766ea1c22ac5d9db.gif)

- 🎩 Works out-of-the-box, with minimal config.
- 🔎 Search performed on:
  - App labels.
  - Model labels and field attributes.
  - `CharField` values (with `__icontains`).
    - Subclasses also included: `SlugField`, `URLField`, etc.

- 🔒 Built-in auth: users can only search apps and models that they have permission to view.
- ⚡ Results appear on-type, with throttling/debouncing to avoid excessive requests.
- 🎹 Keyboard navigation (cmd+k, up/down, enter).
- ✨ Responsive, and supports dark/light mode.
  - Django’s built-in CSS vars are used to match your admin theme.
