how frequently does the letter s appear in:
q: lookup field searchbar 
i have this lookup field which is coupled to a customlist of artists.
i use this lookup field as a column for another list. so when someone creates
a listitem in this second list he or she can choose one item of the
previousely mentioned artistlist in the form of a lookup. well,
after a while this artist list will get bigger and bigger. so when there 
are 500 artists our customer has to scroll through an anoyingly hugh list.
is it possible to add a search function to the newitem page to search in this lookup list?

a: if you are using sharepoint server, the best way to handle this feature is to move away from lookup fields and use a managed meta-data field with an associated termset.  the termset will provide a type-ahead feature, but also a lot more capabilities around managing the list long term versus a linked list and lookup field.  
you can likely pre-populate all of the existing values using a powershell script helping with the transition from the old to the new field so that it doesnt have to be manual if you have thousands of records.
