Is there a way to search on the Foreign Key's __str__ representation
in admin views? I have the FK listed in the search_fields but it fails
to find it.

First, you probably want to be implementing __unicode__ methods for your models, not __str__. See: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/unicode/#choosing-between-str-and-unicode

Second, what is this method returning? If it is essentially a field from the model, then yes, you can search on that in admin. See: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/admin/#django.contrib.admin.ModelAdmin.search_fields
