Is there a way where you can use a single line field to look up a list of employees from a lookup field and only choose from that list?

Is there a way where you can use a single line field to look up a list of employees from a lookup field and only choose from that list?

Thanks in advance!
 
I have an Employee Name dropdown field with over 100 entries.  I am looking for a way where there would be a single line box where if user ABC starts to type AB, it will pull a list from a view that begins with ABC.
 
I am trying to avoid a long list to choose from in a dropdown.
 
Right now my dropdown is configured as a lookup to its view list of employees.
 
Thanks,
Chris
