http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/admin/#list-per-page Set the above to the number of items you would like to appear per page. The default is 100, so set it it to something more manageable.
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/admin/#ordering Set that to a DateField or DateTimeField. If you want the newest to appear on the top of the page, assuming your DT field was 'date_published' for the model, simply set it as the following: ordering = ('-date_published',) http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/admin/#search-fields Set that to the respective fields you wish to search, but like Jacob said, it will likely take awhile. Read that entire section for some tips on improving search speed.
