Yes, I believe the default search keyword is `search`. It searches for a
keyword match across all the `search_fields`. I believe that's what you
indicated. If you want to search individual fields with a variety of
possible relationships, take a look at `DjangoFilterBackend`.

Alan, thanks. With this approach do I have to explicitly define URLs in
urls.py or are these generated? For the above, would the URL look like the
following?
localhost/api/units?search=string
Where string is the literal string to be searched?
If this is the case, how does it know whether I want
Asad:
I believe what you want should work with SearchFilter. Something like this:
from rest_framework.filters import SearchFilter
class UnitViewSet(viewsets.ReadOnlyModelViewSet):
serializer_class = UnitSerializer
queryset = Unit.objects.all()
filter_backends = (SearchFilter, )
Alan, appreciate your input. Basically, I want to be able to retrieve units
based on either a primary key or other attribute. Is this possible using
filtering if URLs are being defined using routers?

MultipleFieldLookupMixin is actually being called but it's throwing an
error as follows:

KeyError: 'unit_name'
The ViewSet is defined as follows:

Hi,
It’s a bit more complex than that.
Content négociation along with renderers and parsers will move the data from
the HTTP body into basic python types (int / floats / strings).
Serializers will move those basic types from and to more complex ones

Hi,
I am fairly new to Django REST framework, but mid experienced with native
Django. First I have a basic question regarding serializers (see picture -
using the REST framework tutorial info). For my understanding the
serializer transforms a Django queryset into a „readable“ JSON. Therefo
This seems like you are reinventing SearchFilter. Maybe I’m
misunderstanding.

Due to python's method resolution order, you need to have mixins first in
the class inheritance order. Specifically
class UnitViewSet(MultipleFieldLookupMixin, viewsets.ReadOnlyModelViewset):

I'm afraid not. I'm quite surprised that I never got any response.
I have to say that I love the *rest_framework.documentation* module and its
