Django Admin Svg Images Aren't Loading In Development Mode

Question

I'm running Django 1.9 and I am missing several icons on the admin such as the Magnifying Glass for the search box, the Calendar and Clock for DateTimeFields. Upon inspecting the element, I see this:

<img src="/static/admin/img/search.svg" alt="Search">

I checked the file location and my svg files are there. I only have static url set.

STATIC_URL = '/static/'

You may need to add media urls during development/debug mode.

Add static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT) to your urls, see:
