User Story

As a user, I want to be able to search by host when adding a container to a template, so I can properly filter out containers from other sites if I have a long list of sites to search through.

For a customer example, they have a large number of sites, over 100, and they have used the same naming scheme for their containers across all their sites. One example being "All Pages | Pre-Footer". They are running into an issue now where the site they are on isn't at the top of the list or even included in the list and there is no pagination in the search either which has it's own Git issue here https://github.com/dotCMS/core/issues/30047

Acceptance Criteria

When adding a container to a template, the search bar should allow for searching the host of the containers as well as the container names.
