Description

The user search of the admin settings only searched the display name: it sent $filter=contains(displayName,'…'), so searching for a user name or an email address returned no users (e.g. the user alex with the display name "dragan").

The Graph API of OpenCloud supports $search for users, which matches the display name, the user name and the email (substrings, case-insensitive). The search now uses it, like the user search of the share dialog in the files app (useCollaboratorSearch) already does:

What changed	Why
The search term is sent as $search="…" instead of contains(displayName,'…') in $filter; the group and role filters stay in $filter	Finds users by display name, user name and email. $search and $filter can be combined
The term is quoted and double quotes are removed from it	Unquoted, terms with spaces, dashes or dots (Alice Han, alice-1db, web.de) are rejected with a 400; a double quote can't be escaped inside the quoted term
The search term is highlighted in the user name and email columns too, not only in the display name	The matches can now be in any of these columns
Renamed the internal "display name filter" variables to "search term"	They don't filter by the display name anymore. The route query stays q_displayName, so existing links keep working

#3516 moves the avatar into the user name column as well; whichever PR is merged second needs a small rebase of that cell.

How Has This Been Tested?

• test environment: local pnpm vite dev server against the docker-compose backend, Playwright, unit tests with Vitest
• test case 1: Graph API directly (read-only): $search finds users by display name, user name, email and substrings, case-insensitive, also combined with a memberOf filter; contains() on onPremisesSamAccountName or mail and or combinations return no users
• test case 2: admin settings users search in the browser: alex (user name), drag (display name), web.de (email), Alice Han (space) and alice-1db (dash) find the expected users, the term is highlighted in the matching column
• test case 3: new unit tests for the search request (quoted term, combined with the group filter, double quotes removed) and the highlight in all three columns; unit tests of web-app-admin-settings, pnpm check:types, lint and format pass
