Cannot select an author from dropdown due to truncated users list

Description

Hello team!

Currently, when we have over 50 users with same email signatures, e.g. over 50 users with email @zemail.com (with usernames starting with characters preceding z), and there is a user with username zemail, the user zemail can never appear in the dropdown since the request made by the dropdown
http://<wordpress-link>/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fusers&context=view&who=authors&per_page=50&_fields=id%2Cname&search=zemail&_locale=user is sorted alphabetically.

This makes it impossible for the user to be selected as an author of a new post.
Would the search be better limited to usernames?

Here's the payload for the search request on the drodown. As you can see, the user amailer is truncated.

Request URL: http://10.1.190.162/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fusers&context=view&who=authors&per_page=50&_fields=id%2Cname&search=amailer&_locale=user

The script to generate random users:

`
#!/bin/bash

# Function to generate a random username beginning with 'ab'
generate_username() {

local username
username="ab"

# Generate a random string of characters
random_string=$(cat /dev/urandom | tr -dc 'a-zA-Z0-9' | fold -w 8 | head -n 1)

# Append the random string to the username
username+="${random_string}"

echo "$username"

}

# Iterate to create 50 users
for ((i=1; i<=50; i++)); do

# Generate a random username
random_username=$(generate_username)

# Create WordPress user
wp --allow-root user create "$random_username" "$random_username@…" --role=author

echo "Created user: $random_username"

done
`

Then, generate the target user:
wp --allow-root user create amailer amailer@amailer.com --role=author

Goto create post.
Select author dropdown on the right panel.
Search for amailer user.
The user is not found in the dropdown.
