Thanks Collin, I looked at raw field ids, but feels too basic. I'm attempting to implement autocomplete_light which seems to offer m2m selection.
IT would seem that this would be a common problem: select from a large list without displaying that entire list. filter_horizontal would work if I could turn off the left hand side list and still get the search and select functions. I wish I had time to extend that.
