+## Field Preprocessing and Related objects
+
+If you want to process a field before indexing it (e.g. capitalizing a `Contact`'s `name`), or if you want to index a [related object](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/ref/models/relations/)'s attribute, 
+you need to define **proxy methods** for these fields.
+
+### Models
+```python
+class Account(models.Model):
+    username = models.CharField(max_length=40)
+    service = models.CharField(max_length=40)
+
+class Contact(models.Model):
+    name = models.CharField(max_length=40)
+    email = models.EmailField(max_length=60)
+    //...
+    accounts = models.ManyToManyField(Account)
+
+    def account_names(self):
+        return [str(account) for account in self.accounts.all()]
+
+    def account_ids(self):
+        return [account.id for account in self.accounts.all()]
+```
+
+### Index
+```python
+from algoliasearch_django import AlgoliaIndex
+
+
+class ContactIndex(AlgoliaIndex):
+    fields = ('name', 'email', 'company', 'address', 'city', 'county',
+              'state', 'zip_code', 'phone', 'fax', 'web', 'followers', 'account_names', 'account_ids')
+
+    settings = {
+        'searchableAttributes': ['name', 'email', 'company', 'city', 'county', 'account_names',
+        }
+```
+- With this configuration, you can search for a `Contact` using its `Account` names
+- You can use the associated `account_ids` at search-time to fetch more data from your model (you should **only proxy the fields relevant for search** to keep your records' size as small as possible)
+
 ## Index settings
 
 We provide many ways to configure your index allowing you to tune your overall index relevancy.
