Hi,
I would like to have my SearchContentProvider to be used from Google Search as well, so my app users can also use Google Search and retrieve search results from my app.
I followed the instructions in this tutorial: developer.android.com/guide/topics/search/adding-custom-suggestions.html
but without success, also the example mentions there seems to be gone, i just found the old code on github, but its also not working.
i searched already and haven't found yet a working solutions.
did anybody have an idea or example what todo that you App Search Provider appears in Google Search -Phone Search - Settings, and will be used to deliver search results when a user uses google search ?
(I don't mean, app indexing, where you can index the pages a user already saw, i want to display search results which the user haven't seen before)
thanks for your help

What is the fastest, quickest, speediest way to search for a contact? with or without an application
the universal search app. part of donut 1.6 and included with cyanogenmod experimental.
you mean the hardware search button? that just searches online, unless I first open contacts and then use it. Can I get a shortcut to directly search contacts?
no, the universal search app. it behaves in a similar manner to spotlight on OSX - searches your handset for contacts, web history, music etc. The results of which appear directly beneath the search bar.
ok, don't think I have that, in the 'about phone' section is says firmware 1.5. How can I upgrade to 1.6? I have a vodafone magic so not sure if that's possible. Or is there another way to get the app? There seem to be plenty of search apps on the market but don't think any of them are what you are describing
to get it you will need to flash CyanogenMod ROM
Oh ok, will look for an app that can do a similar job, as I can't be bothered to erase and reinstall everything. Thanks.
You Don;t have to.............

Download "aurora" Free off the android Market , its exactly the same as the universal search and to top it off it was actually made by a Dev on this forum. You'll see the thread in the Dream forum if you wish to have a look at the dev
Enjoy

actually downloaded it a few mins ago, brilliant app, just what I wanted and more!
I have seen countless posts in response to a question that has been asked before to SEARCH BEFORE YOU POST!
BUT… Maybe some people are unsure about how to effectively search within a forum, or using the GOOGLE super search interwebz machine! I propose that we collectively share some great info and how-to’s on effective searching! I will update the OP periodically as additional info comes along.
There was only a short bit of info on searching these forums in the “How to use these forums-Please read thread” so why not some more?!
We all know that searching within a forum can be pretty much useless if done incorrectly, so here we go!
BASIC SEARCH TIPS –
- When performing a search – DO NOT just use the basic SEARCH THIS FORUM function! (SEE search1.jpg) This is pretty much useless and will give you a millions billions irrelevant results.
- ADVANCED SEARCH is your best friend – I find this is the best jumping off point for a search on XDA. Simply click ADVANCED SEARCH, your keyword(s), and choose SEARCH TITLES ONLY. This will filter out a TON of irrelevant info, and get right to the point! I used “setcpu” as an example. After this search, only threads WITH “setcpu” in the title will be shown. (SEE search2.jpg)
-GOOGLE is also a great way to search within XDA – Many people prefer to use GOOGLE to search within XDA anyway! Most of the time, you can just type “XDA keyword(s)” and you will likely return your desired results. Try typing “XDA root evo” and see what happens!
You can also perform a site specific search with the :site search function - ex) evo root site:forum.xda-developers.com
(submitted by kamiller42)
-Performing a search within a thread is a great tool as well! Let's say you have just flashed a new ROM, but may be uncertain if a certain kernel is compatible.(See search3.jpg) EX) Just flashed Myn's Warm TPT, and want to see info on Netarchy's kernels for this ROM. When in the ROM thread click "Search Thread" and simply type your keyword (I used netarchy). Now every post that contains "netarchy" within the thread is shown. AWESOME!
Hope this helps a few, and if you have some good search tips POST EM!
.... what he said....
If you are using Google, you can narrow the search to a specific site.
Ex: "evo root site:forum.xda-developers.com"

Congrats on your unicode success
Having troubles Searching XDA from within Dolphin HD, on both my EVO and my Galaxy Tab.
When I press Search it brings up the text box, then when I click within it to type the box disappears and it throws my screen outta whack (zooms in a little).
Does it every time on the XDA webpage but other pages seem to be working fine.
This a Flash thing? It's up to date, AFAIK.
Hopefully just a clickable thingamabob that isn't clicked but I'm having no luck.
Thanks.
Hi Everyone,
I like to think of myself of pretty proficient user. I have been pretty good at figuring things out since the Cupcake days..but this particular issue has plagued me for some time now and I'm not sure if there is a solution. I have also done a ton of online searching with no success..but I cannot imagine that I am the only one having this problem. In the old days, the default Google search in Android would perform the search in the Android browser, allowing you to open multiple tabs from the results. Ever since they made the search a seperate app, we lose that ability. Now, you have to search, open result (launches browser) and navigate back to Google Now to every time you want to open another tab. Is there any way around this?? Is there a way to open multiple tabs on your browser from the Google Now search results? Thanks in advance!
Just use the browser to search

If you're interested in multiple searches, why not just search directly from the browser in different tabs? It would save you a step for sure... especially if you have voice keyboard activated.
Hello,
I've just published my new APP 1 day ago ( about 27 hours ago ), when I search for it by it's name it doesn't appear in search results at all,
BUT, when I search for it by the developper name, it shows up!
I think this has nothing to do with the android developper console, as I wrote a 1200 word description with the app name reapeated 5 times, I Added high quality images, I chose to target all countries, my app is targeting more than 6000 devices, the status of APP is PUBLISHED, as I can reach it by typing the developper name
So where's the issue come from? and what can I do to resolve this? I just want it to appear when I search for it by its exact name
PS : another app wich have the same name has 100,000 downloads, but at least I should appear on other spotsof search results, I don't know if this affect the visibility or not, but however, please help my guys
Common problem, it happens often. Dont know about the solution except get a better ASO next time.
Should I remove this app, and reupload it again with diffrent name? or should I just change it's current name? ( but this may affect admob or anything else)
or it's better to sit and wait for it to be ranked?
same problem
same problem here, please help us if you know how to solve this.
Thanks

I met the same issue when I first launched my app. What I have done is as follows
1. Use full package name to search. i.e. xxx.company.appname. If you find it, just give some time to wait
2. Fine-tuned some wordings in title and descriptions.
Even when i type my game title which is unique, no game have that title, but my game is shown up at the bottom of search page:crying:
It takes time for your app to rank up. Also another really important factor is the reviews. If you have many 5 stars you will rank well. My app took some weeks to rank #7, but the name of my app was sooooo common. There are like 200 apps with that name.
Yes you need some good reviews and ofcourse there is the time factor
I think you should promote your app... Mean you should do social networking, write blogs and press release and submit it onto the press release site
And then join the group in your social media sites and share your app there and see the revenue you get
But you should have good graphics screenshots and description
Just type link - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=[YOUR PACKAGE NAME HERE] and it will open your app if it is on google market!
Just relax & wait. App doesn't show up in search result suddenly. You will have to wait for atleast a week or so for your app to appear in search results.
It works the same way in which Google website ranking works.
All you can do is -
1. Get more downloads on your apps
2. Get better ratings
3. Wait
Good Luck with your app!

I'm facing the same problem. It's been about 4-5 days since I published. How did you solve the problem? Is your app showing up now?
I just want to add link to my game review, so i do this useless post
I had a similar problem and 2-3 days after posted the game, and since then, if i search with the exact name of the app it appears first. If your problem persists and the name of the app is unique, use "Contact Google Play developer support"
Hi everyone . Apologies if this question has been resolved before (and I've missed the answer) but as someone with limited technical knowledge I've been unable to sort a problem with my new fire 10 HD tablet that I modified using the wonderful Toolbox provided on this site.
Basically If I use Google search everything works fine except if I try to narrow the results to images only ....no results are ever shown .
If I open chrome and search for images through the browser I get a few results in an old fashioned very limited format ..perhaps 15 small images at the top of the results page.
The only way I have found to get the expected results page is to choose "desktop site " once I'm on the Google search page that comes up when selecting a new tab.
All is fine with bing and others and I have no similar issues with Google or chrome image results on another older android tablet.
If anyone can suggest a solution or an explanation it would be very much appreciated.
Many thanks for your help

Amazon WebView provider is too older, crappy and isn't fully updated. You can use Firefox browser from Google Play store to make it modern and newer appearance of Google search.
