Description
In Django 2.0, support for select2 AJAX autocomplete fields was added:
https://github.com/django/django/pull/6385
https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/14370
This makes foreign key fields much more usable in the Admin, as the full list of objects doesn't need to be loaded to populate a dropdown list (as was the old way of doing this).
This issue covers using the new vendored select2 widgets to provide similar autocomplete functionality for the list_filter UI (specifically, presumably extending/replacing RelatedFieldListFilter).
Some discussion in the Github PR 6385 suggesting that the next step would be to open an issue to track this work.

There is a third-party app dealing with this, although it could be improved a bit: https://github.com/farhan0581/django-admin-autocomplete-filter
