Styles don't propagate to SearchHandler

[Lazareena]

Description

I created a new MAUI project using VS2022 today. I have XamRight installed and it warned me that using the TargetType SearchHandler on Style here, is incorrect. And when I did some testing, I noticed the Style wasn't applied to the SearchHandlers...

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create new MAUI project in VS2022
2. Style declaration with TargetType set to SearchHandler not applied to SearchHandlers

Version with bug

Affected platform versions

Hi, @Lazareena - thank you for reporting this issue. Could you please share your project or a sample project reproducing the issue you are experiencing so that we may investigate further?

As seen here - the properties applied to the SearchHandler style all belong: https://github.com/dotnet/maui/blob/main/src/Controls/src/Core/Shell/SearchHandler.cs

Styles with TargetType="SearchBar" will affect the SearchBar control whereas styles with TargetType="SearchHandler" will affect the SearchHandler control used in Shell. So if you are indicating that the SearchHandler styles are not propagating to the SearchBar control, then that would be the correct, expected behavior.

Hi @rachelkang, thanks for getting back to me. In my sample, I just added a SearchHandler to the existing boilerplate (here) and changed the PlaceholderColor and FontSize in the Style (here). And the changes do not propagate to the SearchHandler. But if I set the PlaceholderColor or any of the other properties directly on the SearchHandler it does appear. I think the issue is there's no Style property on SearchHander...
