## Message

```
Fix focus handling in ProjectSearchBar. (#61093)

# Objective

Fix #61023

When project search is already open and focused, pressing the project
search shortcut again (`cmd-shift-f` / `ctrl-shift-f`) only re-focused
the query editor and did not select the existing query text. That made
it hard to quickly retype a search term—especially after a no-results
search, when focus stays in the search bar.

This aligns project search behavior with buffer search, where
`FocusSearch` focuses and selects the query.

## Solution

In `ProjectSearchBar::focus_search`, call `focus_query_editor` instead
of only focusing the query editor. `focus_query_editor` already focuses
the field and selects all text (same path used by `DeploySearch`).

## Testing

- [ ] Manual: open project search → type a non-matching query → Enter →
press project search shortcut again → query text should be selected so
typing replaces it
- [ ] Manual: same flow after a search that returns matches
- [ ] Manual: compare with buffer search (`cmd-f` / `ctrl-f`) to confirm
consistent “refocus selects query” behavior
- Platforms: tested / to be tested on macOS; Linux/Windows should behave
the same via the shared `FocusSearch` action

No automated test added yet; a `gpui::test` that deploys project search,
dispatches `FocusSearch`, and asserts the query editor selection would
be a good follow-up.
