Replace Admin Site Foreign Key Field/Dropdown with Textbox?

For foreign key fields in the Django Admin, the default display
element is a drop down list box containing all of the foreign key
items from the related model. I have an asset tracking instance where
this drop down box can contain hundreds of thousands of items and I am
looking to not have the admin load them all. Is there a way to
override the admin interface and have it use a text box instead of the
populated drop down?
