Not using a DV dropdown.
Have you thought about using a Combobox instead?
With this method you have "Autocomplete" and resizing to show more items and you
can change the font size.

I have a long data validation list and want to know is there a way of doing a
search on the drop down list, without scrolling down the list to the entry

possibilities as you type eg a - possibilities starting with a; ad - all
possibilties starting with ad etc
