-----------------------------------------+----------------------------
We have Django 2.1 project with model admin which includes an `UUIDField`
in `list_display` and `search_fields`. The UUID is displayed with dashes
on changelist (e.g. "245ba2eb-6852-47be-82be-7dc07327cf9e") and if the
user cut'n'paste it to the search field, I would expect admin to find it.
This works however only on Postgres but fails on Oracle. I can understand
why this happens (Oracle backend stores uuid as string) and I believe I
can workaround it by customizing `get_search_results` but I think should
be internal thing that Django handles gracefully - search should be
possible by the value as displayed in admin.
