🎨 Palette: Improve screen reader accessibility for Search input watermark

[AhmmedSamier]

💡 What: Removed AutomationProperties.Name="" from the Search input's watermark TextBlock.
🎯 Why: Explicitly setting the accessibility name to an empty string on a watermark element is an anti-pattern that hides its text content. The TextBlock contains valuable example input formats ("Search (e.g., 'UserService', '/t', or '#')") that are not duplicated in the TextBox's tooltip. Removing the empty override ensures screen readers will read this text when the user tabs into the empty search box, significantly improving discoverability of search features for visually impaired users.
♿ Accessibility: Improved screen reader announcements for the primary search input by exposing missing instructional text.

🐰 I hopped through lines with gentle care,
I nudged the spaces, fixed the air,
A tidy hop, a tidy file—
