Using normal text fields you can find "María" when your input is "MARIA" but in the autocomplete username field the text must be exact to get some results. I wanted to disable the autocomplete but there is no option to do it.

There is a similar thread to disable autocomplete for tags here: #1893594: How to remove autocomplete functionality from exposed filters for tags

This is because you are using the "User: Name" filter? Which actually filters on the uid, so it has to use the autocomplete uid to get that.

If you want the name to behave like a normal string text filter, use the "User: Name (raw)" filter. Which has the help text:

The user or author name. This filter does not check if the user exists and allows partial matching. Does not utilize autocomplete.

So I guess you didn't read through those first? :)
