AJAX search doesn't find some users (with fix)

    Hey,
    As a news blog, we have a ‘Torontoist’ user with the same name as the site to whom we sometimes assign posts. A lot of our contributors also have e-mail addresses with the blog’s name, either as addresses with our domain or as GMail plus sign addresses. Because search_authors only finds the first 10 matches to terms, our group user wouldn’t be found by the AJAX search, and we’d actually get no results.

    On line 890, I upped ‘number’ to 1000 which solved the problem for us, but might not for blogs with more user accounts.

    Great find! I’ve added a filter so you can safely increase that value without modifying the plugin.

    Great! I’ve added the change to our code and it’s working as expected, thanks! I’m worried that it might not be a scalable solution, and we’re getting long lists of results. The get_users() search on line 877 actually returns our group user first. I might be missing something, but would it be possible to integrate those results those in found_terms and give them priority?
