Description
Problem
The current story author dropdown is unwieldy as the facilitator list grows.
Proposal
Replace the dropdown with a search/typeahead input so the user can type to find an author quickly.

Research direction
Locate the story author form or view that currently renders the facilitator dropdown, then read the surrounding code to understand how authors are loaded and selected. Replace that control with a searchable typeahead input and verify that users can find and select an author as the facilitator list grows.
