Add integration test for creator search endpoint returning correct results for partial name match

[Chucks1093]

Summary

The creator search endpoint supports partial name matching but has no integration test confirming the results are correct. A test should seed creators with known names and assert the endpoint returns only those whose names contain the search term.

Scope

• Seed three creators: Alpha, AlphaTwo, Beta
• Search for alpha (case-insensitive)
• Assert both Alpha and AlphaTwo are returned
• Assert Beta is absent from the response
• Assert search for an empty string returns all creators

Acceptance Criteria

• Partial match returns all matching creators
• Match is case-insensitive
• Non-matching creator absent from response
• Empty search string returns all creators

ETA: 12 hours

Hi Chief Maintainer, I'd like to work on this if it's still available.

I've read the issue and have a reasonable understanding of the work involved. I'd start by reproducing the behavior locally and confirming it still occurs on main, then work back to the underlying cause before making any changes.

The PR would include tests for the described case, a check that existing behavior is unaffected, and documentation updates where relevant.

I'll follow the repo's contribution guidelines and keep this thread updated. If I run into anything ambiguous, I'll ask here rather than guess and go in the wrong direction.
