Simple way to filter select list based on partial search

Question

Hello,

I am trying to find a simple way to populate a select list on a form by the user typing in a partial search and those items being retrieved from a separate list and populated on the form.

I do not want to make the select list a lookup column because of the volume of data on the second list. Its approx 4500 items right now.

This is SharePoint 2016 on prem.
