Search completion issue when searching payee: field with unescaped `*` character

Hi,

I've met an issue with the search completion where it suggests an unescaped string (I'm searching for "leroy"):

leading to the account being empty

If I escape the string correctly, I do get the correct payee subacount:

Tested on fava-1.29.dev3+g365cd5dc

Yeah, I guess we need to escape those suggestions. A PR with a fix would be welcome.

I've found where to modify the generated suggestion but didn't have time to actually test. I'll send the PR in the next weeks hopefully!
