class Books(models.Model):

    author = models.ManyToManyField(Author)

admin.py

from visualsearch import VisualSearchAdmin
from django.contrib import admin
from books.models import Books

class BooksAdmin(VisualSearchAdmin, admin.ModelAdmin):
    visualsearch_fields = {
        'title': u'Book title',
        'author__first_name__last_name': u'Author',
