 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?
