Able to use this on non-admin page?

I was wondering if it was possible to somehow implement the filter view as a page/menu that a normal user could access instead of being tied to the admin site?

Sure, one can definitely use it outside of the admin, you just need to implement an (optionally paginated) generic ListView, integrate the AdvancedFilterForm and use it similarly to how is done in the AdminAdvancedFiltersMixin and the related AdvancedListFilters.

If you do implement some generic view of this kind, please feel free to contribute a PR.

I'm just wondering if you had any more advice on how to implement this for a user-facing advanced search/filter page. This seems like the ideal way to build advanced queries of a relational db running in Django.
