[Windows] SearchHandler.Focused and Unfocused event never fires #27551
Description
Description
In a .NET MAUI Shell application running on the Windows platform, the Focused and Unfocused events for Shell.SearchHandler do not trigger when the search handler gains or loses focus.

Steps to Reproduce
-
Run the application on Windows. SearchHandlerIssue.zip
-
Click inside the search handler to give it focus, then click outside to remove focus.
Expected Behavior
When the SearchHandler gains focus (e.g., the user clicks inside the search box), the Focused event should fire.
The focusedLabel should update to display "Focused: True".
Similarly, when the search handler loses focus, the Unfocused event should fire, updating unfocusedLabel to "Unfocused: True".
Actual Behavior
On Windows, the Focused event does not fire when interacting with the SearchHandler.
As a result, the focusedLabel remains unchanged ("Focused: False").
The Unfocused event behavior is inconsistent; it doesn't trigger as expected.
