Description
**Description:** I have copied your code from `SearchRecyclerDemoActivity` and while playing with search bar I have noticed that doing `searchBar.setText(...)` inside `submitSearchQuery()` does nothing (no effect). Once I have configured `android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustNothing"` in my activity, it started working.
**Expected behavior:** `searchBar.setText(...)` should work even without setting windowSoftInputMode. (IDK, I am new to android, but I guess it should not depend on windowSoftInputMode)
**Source code:**
```
```
**Android API version:** 33
**Material Library version:** 1.9.0-rc01
**Device:** xiaomi mi note 10 lite (MIUI Global 12.5.6 Stable)

Research direction
Reproduce the behavior from SearchRecyclerDemoActivity using the provided CoordinatorLayout, SearchBar, SearchView, and submitSearchQuery() setup, comparing default behavior with windowSoftInputMode="adjustNothing". Trace how SearchBar.setText(...) is handled in Material Library 1.9.0-rc01 on Android API 33, then verify that the text update works without that window setting.
