Issue Details:
When using Shell.SearchHandler on iOS, the title bar disappears when a search is initiated but doesn't reappear after the search is completed by tapping the search button on the keyboard.
Root Cause
When a search is completed by tapping the "Search" button on the keyboard, the SearchButtonClicked event handler was correctly calling QueryConfirmed() but wasn't explicitly setting _searchController.Active = false. This left the search controller in an active state.
Even though the search action completed functionally (the search query was processed), visually the UI remained in "search mode" with the title bar hidden because the search controller was still considered active by iOS.
Description of Change
Added code to set _searchController.Active = false in the SearchButtonClicked method before invoking QueryConfirmed():
This change ensures that the UISearchController is properly deactivated when the search is completed via keyboard, which restores the title bar to its normal state.
Validated the behaviour in the following platforms
