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)
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', )
