Description
__Steps to reproduce:__
1. Create a database/bucket in InfluxDB Cloud Serverless Storage Engine Version 3
2. add Influx to Grafana as a datasource (I tested with Grafana Cloud (Free), Grafana v10.2.4)
3. Create a new dashboard and try to use the search option.
__Expected behaviour:__
Grafana proposes tagnames that start with the substring that was inserted in the search field.
__Actual behaviour:__
When selecting "a measurement" in grafana, all the options are shown, so It is able to get all the measurements in the database.
However, when searching for a substring of a measurement, the result is empty:

I tried the same influx Data source in 2 different grafana versions, same results in both. I added other Influx (V2) datasources to grafana. With these influx versions, the search option works.
__Environment info:__
it's an influx cloud, not sure what I should give as info here
__Config:__
no config changes

Research direction
No repository file, test, or entry point is identified. Start by reproducing the measurement search with InfluxDB Cloud Serverless through Grafana, then trace the relevant query path; done means substring searches return the matching measurement or tag names as expected.
