Not sure if you have found an answer to this, but I was having a related problem in that I was trying to have the search UI show up from a menu of a tabactivity (i.e. , the search should show up irrespective of whichever tab is active), and it was not showing up. After quite a bit of research and reading the Search' article carefully, I noticed the following paragraph: The search dialog is not, by default, available from every Activity of your application.
Rather, the search dialog is presented to users only when they invoke search from a searchable context of your application. A searchable context is any Activity for which you have declared searchable meta-data in the manifest file. For example, the searchable Activity itself (declared in the manifest snippet above) is a searchable context because it includes meta-data that defines the searchable configuration.
Any other Activity in your application is not a searchable context, by default, and thus, does not reveal the search dialog. However, you probably do want the search dialog available from your other activities (and to launch the searchable Activity when the user executes a search). You can do exactly that You can also control which activities provide search at a more granular level.To specify only an individual Activity as a searchable context, place the with the "android.app.
Default_searchable" name inside the respective element (rather than inside the element). While uncommon, you can also create more than one searchable Activity and provide each one in different contexts of your application, either by declaring a different searchable Activity in each element, or by declaring a default searchable Activity for the entire application and then overriding it with a element inside certain activities.(You might do this if you want to search different sets of data that cannot be handled by the same searchable Activity, depending on the currently open Activity.) In short, you will have to have the search meta-data for the specific activity from which you are calling onSearchRequested() Not only that, the meta-data in these other activities should have the name as default_searchable and mention the search activity, and not the xml searchable file, like so: meta-data android:name="android.app. Default_searchable" android:value=".
SearchScreen Noticed that you have the search meta-data wrong in two places.

So the solution is to create a tabactivity with views (instead of activities) as the tab content. We see a very simple example of this in the official Android tutorial TabWidget. In this tutorial, we will create a slightly more advanced application.
We will have two listviews as the content of a tabactivity and have them interact with one another (basically by clicking the items of one list view will add them to the second list view). Next, we will write the Java source for our TabActivity. First, we create an Activity that extends TabActivity.
We want to get the tabhost from the tabactivity to add our two list views. Next, we need to add the views to the tabhost by setting the content of each tab as an anonymous class of TabContentFactory. If you want to programmatically change the tab, you should call setCurrentTab(index) on the tabhost where index is the tab number.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
