Scott Main50992e82009-08-29 13:08:18 -07001<p>A sample application that demonstrates Android's search framework.</p>
2
3<p>This application includes a dictionary of words. By invoking a search inside the app
4(via the device search button or Menu > Search), a local search will be performed
5across the dictionary. As you type, suggestions will appear, which you can select
6to view the full definition. You can also execute the search to view all word definitions
7that match the entered text.</p>
8
9<p>The application also grants content provider privileges to
10Quick Search Box, Android's system-wide search tool. This means that the
11dictionary definitions can be offered as search suggestions outside of the application,
12when text is entered into Quick Search Box.</p>
