listSearchableFields should be used when searching for relations as well

[luca-nardelli]

Hi all! We have some collections where we have multiple fields set in listSearchableFields. When we search in the regular list view, those fields are correctly used for search, however when we are searching on the same collection but in the context of a relation (i.e. the collection with listSearchableFields is the target of the relationTo property of the field) only the useAsTitle field is used for search.

Shouldn't we use listSearchableFields here as well?

That is a good idea. I can't think of any reason why not.

Are you interested in contributing a PR?

Definitely, however I don't know where exactly I need to make the change. This morning I tried having a look at the getResults function

payload/src/admin/components/forms/field-types/Relationship/index.tsx

Line 102 in 0112f4c

const getResults: GetResults = useCallback(

by changing this part

            if (searchArg) {
              query.where.and.push({
                [fieldToSearch]: {
                  like: searchArg,
                },
              });
            }

But it looked like it didn't do anything. Do you have some pointers?
