There’s not an easy way to include a property like nse_markt_typ in the search_fields list.

Would it be possible to change your model to add a foreign key to MDfile? Then you can use the double underscore __ to search a field on the linked object.

class Scrip_Master(models.Model):
    nse_markt_typ = models.ForeignKey(MDfile, blank=True, null=True)

class Scrip_MasterAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
   ...
   search_fields = ['nse_markt_typ__mkt_type', ...]

Note that you cannot use nse_markt_typ__mkt_type in list_display, so you might have to create a property, or use nse_markt_typ and set a suitable __unicode__ for your MDfile model.
