Bug description
In recent nextcloud versions (I don't remember from which one and I no longer have servers with older versions to check) has become more difficult to do some operations on users, before it was possible to do it quickly and easily from the UI while now I have to use occ.
In particular from the user list the username of the ldap accounts is displayed incomplete and can no longer be copied full (I mean for example DC82A48D-C153-43DB-A130-D7B89FA0384B), furthermore before it was possible to easily find a user by entering that id in the search while now it no longer shows results, not even entering the first visible characters.
Steps to reproduce

View and select full account name of ldap users (not just display name) and search by ldap account name from UI.

Research direction
Start with the user list UI and its search entry point, reproducing the issue with an LDAP/Active Directory account name such as DC82A48D-C153-43DB-A130-D7B89FA0384B. Compare the UI behavior with the available occ operation. Done means the full LDAP account name can be viewed and copied, and searching by the full name or its visible prefix returns the user.
