[Bug]: iOS swipe-back from Predict search returns to wallet home instead of Predict home (PRED-1091)

[racitores]

Describe the bug

On iOS, when navigating to the search screen from the Predict home page, using the native iOS swipe-left (back) gesture to dismiss search returns the user to the wallet home page instead of the Predict home page.

This is inconsistent with the Cancel button behavior — tapping Cancel correctly returns the user to the Predict home page.

Tracked in Jira: PRED-1091

Slack context: Message (ConsenSys workspace; login required)

Expected behavior

Swiping left to go back from the search screen should return the user to the Predict home page, just as tapping Cancel does.
