[SwikritiT]

Describe the bug

OCS sharing API always returns an empty exact list while searching for a sharee

Steps to reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. As admin create variations of user einstein like Einstein, Einstein_one, Einstein1
2. Now search for string einstein

curl -vk -uadmin:admin https://host.docker.internal:9200/ocs/v1.php/apps/files_sharing/api/v1/sharees\?search\=einstein\&itemType\=file -H"OCS-APIREQUEST:1" | xmllint --format -

Expected behavior

Something like that of 0C10 where the exact match is shown in <exact> and other matches in <users>

curl -v -uadmin:admin http://localhost/core/ocs/v1.php/apps/files_sharing/api/v1/sharees\?search\=einstein\&itemType\=file -H"OCS-APIREQUEST:1" | xmllint --format -
