Working with large number of fields in kibana


Is there a way to filter through the entries in the "Fields" dropdown in Kibana under the Visualize tab?

My data has over 1000 fields and so its not convenient having to scroll through a really long dropdown menu (that looks like below) - just to pick a field thats buried in there somewhere.

Is there a way to make it searchable like how it is in the discover page for indexes and for fields - as seen below:

I am open to other suggestions as well - if there is a different way to achive the same result - i.e., to pick fields to visualize when there are a lot of fields to pick from.

I am using Kibana 5.4.1 on Windows
