-#### Specifying a FilterSet
+For more advanced filtering requirements you can specify a `FilterSet` class that should be used by the view.
+You can read more about `FilterSet`s in the [django-filter documentation][django-filter-docs].
+It's also recommended that you read the section on [DRF integration][django-filter-drf-docs].
 
-For more advanced filtering requirements you can specify a `FilterSet` class that should be used by the view.  For example:
-
-    import django_filters
-    from myapp.models import Product
-    from myapp.serializers import ProductSerializer
-    from rest_framework import generics
-
-    class ProductFilter(django_filters.rest_framework.FilterSet):
-        min_price = django_filters.NumberFilter(name="price", lookup_expr='gte')
-        max_price = django_filters.NumberFilter(name="price", lookup_expr='lte')
-        class Meta:
-            model = Product
-            fields = ['category', 'in_stock', 'min_price', 'max_price']
-
-    class ProductList(generics.ListAPIView):
-        queryset = Product.objects.all()
-        serializer_class = ProductSerializer
-        filter_backends = (django_filters.rest_framework.DjangoFilterBackend,)
-        filter_class = ProductFilter
-
-
-Which will allow you to make requests such as:
-
-    http://example.com/api/products?category=clothing&max_price=10.00
-
-You can also span relationships using `django-filter`, let's assume that each
-product has foreign key to `Manufacturer` model, so we create filter that
-filters using `Manufacturer` name. For example:
-
-    import django_filters
-    from myapp.models import Product
-    from myapp.serializers import ProductSerializer
-    from rest_framework import generics
-
-    class ProductFilter(django_filters.rest_framework.FilterSet):
-        class Meta:
-            model = Product
-            fields = ['category', 'in_stock', 'manufacturer__name']
-
-This enables us to make queries like:
-
-    http://example.com/api/products?manufacturer__name=foo
-
-This is nice, but it exposes the Django's double underscore convention as part of the API.  If you instead want to explicitly name the filter argument you can instead explicitly include it on the `FilterSet` class:
-
-    import django_filters
-    from myapp.models import Product
-    from myapp.serializers import ProductSerializer
-    from rest_framework import generics
-
-    class ProductFilter(django_filters.rest_framework.FilterSet):
-        manufacturer = django_filters.CharFilter(name="manufacturer__name")
-
-        class Meta:
-            model = Product
-            fields = ['category', 'in_stock', 'manufacturer']
-
-And now you can execute:
-
-    http://example.com/api/products?manufacturer=foo
-
-For more details on using filter sets see the [django-filter documentation][django-filter-docs].

-**Hints & Tips**
-
-* By default filtering is not enabled.  If you want to use `DjangoFilterBackend` remember to make sure it is installed by using the `'DEFAULT_FILTER_BACKENDS'` setting.
-* When using boolean fields, you should use the values `True` and `False` in the URL query parameters, rather than `0`, `1`, `true` or `false`.  (The allowed boolean values are currently hardwired in Django's [NullBooleanSelect implementation][nullbooleanselect].)
-* `django-filter` supports filtering across relationships, using Django's double-underscore syntax.
