how can I create this kind of filter box for a certain field in admin pages? django

let's say I have an employee model with the field username which can be selected. Usually in admin > employee page, we will see a dropdown of a list of employee username but instead of doing that, is it possible to have like a select list and on top of that there's a filter so it'll be easier to find what is needed instead of scrolling through the whole dropdown if there are like hundreds....

an example of what I want is like this.... enter image description here so in the box it'll be like list of the employee's name so I can click and choose whichever needed and also use filter to find the username.

this image is actually cropped from admin > users

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

This is auto generate form input when there is manytoMany relation in your model.

Fox ex, something like this. 

class Team(models.Model):
    members= models.ManyToManyField(Employee)

In you admin.py you have to register your model to show in admin pages. 

class TeamAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    filter_horizontal = ('employees',)


admin.site.register(Team, TeamAdmin)

There is more evolved selection also possibly with some customisation.
