Question

I am currently writing an application which performs a search operation requested by the server at a pre-defined server location. Now , i need to integrate this application into the default Search that is provided on the Android Device i.e.. it should appear as an option for the user to perform his search … like there are options to search the web , android market etc.. So , i should have my app also besides this …

I am in a fix as to how to do this. Any suggestions, help of any kind , links to tutorials , articles are highly appreciated.

Thank You

You are in need of Suggestion Provider, you can explore this and if i remember correctly, the user needs to explicitly add your app to the search list. (It doesn’t happen automatically)
