If I activate Steelshaper Apprentice and then respond by untapping and activating again, will the last one on the stack fizzle because its "part of the cost", or will I get to search again?
Part of the cost of activating Steelshaper Apprentice is to return it to it owner's hand.
Costs can't be resonded to. So once you activate the ability the creature is already back in your hand, so you can't even attempt to untap and activate it again. So you can only get one search before needing to recast the Apprentice.
As returning it to your hand is a part of the cost, you won't have time to untap it as it will be in your hand when the ability is put on the stack for you to attempt to respond to in the first place.

Hope that helps.
