Steps to reproduce:

Step 1. Turn on NVDA.
Step 2. Open the Excel document.
Step 3. Navigate to 'Comments' by using 'Ctrl+F6', 'Tab' & 'Right/Left' arrow keys.
Step 4: Press Enter key to activate the Comment button.
Step 5: Navigate to any Comment & activate it.
Step 6: Navigate to '@mention or reply,' edit field, start typing "@" and observe the issue.

Actual behavior:

NVDA is not announcing search suggestions are available after typing some characters in '@mention or reply,' edit field and while navigating on search results NVDA just announcing as "N" and it's not announcing the username and user mail ID.

Expected behavior:

For better screen reader user experience NVDA should announce the Serach results information, so that user can select the desired person and send the comment easily.
For example, NVDA should announces "10 Search suggestions available" and while navigating those results NVDA should announce the user information like name of the person and his mail ID as well.
