I solved the challenge of having too many options by using the multiselect
option recommended in the book.
http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/07#IS_IN_SET-and-Tagging (
http://loudev.com/)
"We strongly suggest using the jQuery multiselect plugin to render multiple
fields."
It's designed for multiselect obviously but i don't see why it couldn't be
adjusted to be used as a nice way of searching for and selecting a single
option.
