Entity search always returns unavailable entities regardless of the search

[hagak]

Describe the bug

If you type in the entity field for the events: state node (probably others as well). It will always return any "unavailable entities" even if what is typed does not match any part. example I could type "ASDFASKJASFDGD" which I have no entities that match this but ALL of the unavail entites are listed. I have a few devices that are seasonal and notice that when they are online they do not show in the list.

To Reproduce

1. Have entities defined in HA that are unavailable, good test is a seasonal item that is offline most of the year
2. In the events:state node type gibberish into the Entity field (that does not match any entity in your system)
3. Note all unavailable entities are in the list.

Expected behavior

Only entities that match the search criteria should be shown.

I have the same experience. As a workaround I use a substring with the full entity name, the issue does not occur then.
