There's probably an expectation from the app developers that
Ctrl+F or similar common shortcuts for starting a search will
be handled by the widget, when this is not the case. Explicitely
mention it in the docs to avoid confusion.

*
* For keyboard presses to start a search, events will need to be forwarded
* from the top-level window that contains the search bar. See
- * gtk_search_bar_handle_event() for example code.
+ * gtk_search_bar_handle_event() for example code. Common shortcuts such as Ctrl+F
+ * should be handled as an application action, or through the menu items.
*
* You will also need to tell the search bar about which entry you are
* using as your search entry using gtk_search_bar_connect_entry().
