Description

Description

It would be great to have ReturnType API for SearchBar like it is done for Entry.

Public API Changes

<SearchBar
    ReturnType="Done">
</SearchBar>

Intended Use-Case

When developer implements realtime search using SearchBar, "Search" button on keyboard doesn't make sense. "Done" option should be available for this case.

Research direction
Examine how Entry's ReturnType property is implemented in the MAUI source code, particularly in the handler and XAML. Look for files like 'SearchBarHandler.cs' and 'SearchBar.cs' in the dotnet/maui repository. Follow the pattern used for Entry to add the ReturnType bindable property to SearchBar, update the handler, and add platform specific implementations.
