To add as well, if you have not implemented a Users database to search on (we have, very handy), the function getusersby() within the Personalization Utilities plugin comes in handy in this scenario for searching via user profiles directly.

To clarify, the default OOB User Picker field shows the username under the "full name" - in your case it seems like the username is an email address, but this is not always the case. Thus there would be no way to systematically obfuscate part of an email address in the OOB user picker, since there would be no way to make assumption as to whether the username represents an email address or not. I second Chris's suggestion above, it's probably best to use the Custom Picker component that picks users based on your Users database table, in which case you can have the suggest function show / not show whichever details you want.

You can customize this by switching to a Custom Picker Component. We use this for our user pickers to add details such as location, employee ID, etc.
