 If a user has an email address in his username, that user is not searched
 in admin user list page.

 Steps to reproduce:
 - Create a new user and use an email address as the username, e.g.
 `abc at gmail.com`
 - Make sure no user on the system has an email address which contains
 `abc@` in it
 - Search a user with `abc@` keyword. No user will be returned.

 I think since WordPress does not restrict the character `@` in username,
 the search should include username field even when there is `@` in search
 keyword.

 Does this make any sense?
