autocomplete_light_registry.py

import autocomplete_light django.contrib.auth.models import user  autocomplete_light.register(user) 

show error on ajax request:

fielderror @ /autocomplete/userautocomplete/ cannot resolve keyword u'name' field. choices are:  

for moment, autocomplete-light doesn't reuse modeladmin's search_fields. there's open pr that.

try registering search_fields ie.:

registry.register(user, search_fields=['username', 'email'])
