I think it’s actually the _deactivated_ account that’s keeping the user from coming up in a search rather than a suspension. Try suspending the user, but activate him.

The suspension dialog allows for a custom reason:

You can also change the user’s email to some random address, like `suspended123@no-email.invalid` in case someone should try to reactivate it.
