public bool handle_event (Event event)
This function should be called when the top-level window which contains the search entry received a key event.
If the entry is part of a SearchBar, it is preferable to call handle_event instead, which will reveal the entry in addition to passing the event to this function.
If the key event is handled by the search entry and starts or continues a search, gdk_event_stop will be returned. The caller should ensure that the entry is shown in this case, and not propagate the event further.
