How to extend search record to also look at custom Many2Many field(s)?

In this image, there is a product search record that will search for name and default_code. I need to make it so that it will also look at my custom Many2Many field.

Search Product

This is the field in the inherited model.

product_list = fields.Many2many("product.list", string="Product List")

The custom model only has _name, _description, and name variables.

The question is how to make the search to also look at all of the possible Many2Many data of this field.

I have tried this in the inherited model:

@api.model
def name_search(self, name='', args=None, operator='ilike', limit=100):
    res = super(product_template_inherit, self).name_search(name='', args=None, operator='ilike', limit=100)
    ids = self.search(args + [(name, 'in', 'product_list.name')], limit=limit)
    if ids:
        return ids.name_get()
    return res

Nothing happens to the search. It still searches using the same behavior regardless of the code above.

Summary: I need to be able to search product by product list (custom Many2Many field inherited in the product.template model)

=============================================

UPDATE

Current code from what I have been trying is now this.

@api.model
def _name_search(self, name, args=None, operator='ilike', limit=100, name_get_uid=None):
    args = args or []
    if operator == 'ilike' and not (name or '').strip():
        domain = []
    else:
        domain = ['|', ('name', 'ilike', name), ('product_list.name', 'ilike', name)]
        product_ids = self._search(expression.AND([domain, args]), limit=limit, access_rights_uid=name_get_uid)
    return self.browse(product_ids).name_get()

However, it looks like it still searches using the same old fields. It does not change to behave as my function is written.

You can compute the search domain then return the result of the _search method.

The fleet module already uses the same logic to search vehicles using the driver name, you have just to replace the driver_id with product_list:

class ProductProduct(models.Model):
    _inherit = 'product.product'

    @api.model
    def _name_search(self, name, args=None, operator='ilike', limit=100, name_get_uid=None):
        args = args or []
        if operator == 'ilike' and not (name or '').strip():
            domain = []
        else:
            domain = ['|', ('name', operator, name), ('product_list.name', operator, name)]
        return self._search(expression.AND([domain, args]), limit=limit, access_rights_uid=name_get_uid)
