Listing and Searching fields in another table

[Iyanuoluwa Loko]

Good day, I would like to use the list_display and search_fields functions in one table on the Django admin page to display and search for a field in another table. Could I please get any pointers on how to go about this?

Obviously you will be searching in related table. 

So if you have models.py like:

class Author(models.Model):
    first_name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
    last_name = models.CharField(max_length=100)

class Book(models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(max_length=200)

    author = models.ForeignKey(Author)

Then in your admin.py for book:

    search_fields = (

        'title', 'author__first_name',  'author__last_name', )
