I'm trying to implement both recent suggestions and custom suggesions in global search in the same application. They both use the same path in the provider so it doesn't seem like it is possible to return different results for them. For example just recent searches for suggestions and real search results in the Quick Search Box.

I'm building the search in an application and need to have a way of putting the suggestions which I get from my server as a JSON-array into the list of suggestions which is displayed below the Quick Search Box. Is there an easy way to have the quick search box read such resources? Currently I am trying to use a ContentProvider, but the interface methods clearly indicate one is supposed to be querying a database to get the suggestions. I guess using a ContentProvider is the correct way if you are searching the data which is stored inside the application. I am not so sure however, that it is the right way if you need to query a network resource.
It makes no sense for me to save the suggestions I get from the network to a local database, as the suggestions and their hit rate will vary from time to time. Anyone had this issue? Or can point me in the direction of a similar question? I could not find questions here on stack that mentioned network suggestions.
I cannot seem to dictate the behavior of the onClick function.When a suggestion is clicked, it fires off the intent immediately. Is there a way for it to instead of firing off the intent immediately,simply copy and paste the suggestion as part of the search string?Eg. when typing in J,o,h the suggestion "John" comes up. When I click "John" can it copy that text into the search bar instead of immediately processing the search with John?I'm assuming theres a simple configuration which I cant seem to find.I dont want to go extensively into catching the fired of intent and re-processing etc

View 11 Replies View RelatedRecently within the past couple weeks my google search suggestions stopped appearing on my HTC hero. After I press the search key on the phone I start typing into the search box an no green boxes with search suggestions appear. I don't know what happened and I am kinda disappointed about it. I have reset my phone numerous times and still no luck. Also when I am typing texts and emails it does give me word suggesting like for spelling etc.
View 1 Replies View RelatedCan anyone offer any advice on how to go back to search results in contacts? You do a search for a name and get 2 or 3 contacts with the same name, you look at one but its not the one you wanted, you want to go back to the search results to look at the other option but you can't, it takes you back to all contacts, you are left cursing that you have to re-enter cuz now you are driving. What is a girl to do?
View 4 Replies View RelatedWhen using a BB and starting an email, in the name field I could type "Jo Ba" and the search results would return Joe Barnes and John Baker and I could choose from either. I do the same on the Incredible and get nothing. Additionally, if I wanted to get the name of someone at a specific company I could go to the contacts and type "Goog" and all the contacts that had Google in them would show on the screen. Am I missing something, is there a better way or is there an app that handles people searches a bit better?

View 6 Replies View RelatedHow is an app's position in the Android Market search results determined? Is it as mysterious and complex as Google Web search results? We obviously don't want to change any words in our app's title or description that would hurt our position.
Same question applies for not only search results, but when clicking on a Category in the Android Market. How is the order of the list determined? I would think that Google would have published some guidelines at least that could help, but I haven't found anything yet.
I'll try and explain this as best as possible...
If I search for a generic term at top it may say 5 results found, but in the search results it says to re word your search. Why won't it just tell me the 5 it found?

I had been showing off the droids capabilities to a co-worker when he asked "how far away is the nearest place to get a haircut from the hotel". At this time we were still at the airport, so I couldn't just say "map of nearest haircut". So I got the map to display the embassy suites, but then couldn't get it to ALSO display places to get a haircut. It was one or the other. I worked on it for about an hour but couldn't figure this one out. Is there a way to display multiple results?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI want to display search result on the screen, I have implemented in such a way that. From the search form user fill the 'search field' and 'search location' I set values into bean and that bean is static so that I can access it from every where. Then I start search result screen intent using:
Intent mainIntent = new Intent(SearchVenueResults.this, SearchResults.class);
startActivity(mainIntent);
On the 'SearchResults' activity 'oncreate' method I load data on the behalf of static bean which values filled from search form and then display data.
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { loadDataAndSetupUI();
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
}
My question is is it the correct approach to use it or in Android there is another preferable approach?
I have a little question, perhaps it's quite easy, but I've been looking for it for over a week now.
When I search on the market for a specific application, say "shazam", I get a message;
Suggestion
- Make sure all words are spelled correctly
- Try other keywords
- Try less specific keywords
However in the top bar it says
"1 result for Shazam"
But the result isn't showed. I have this problem with up to 9 search results.

View 2 Replies View RelatedJust downloaded donut sdk and played with global search, very cool, except a small issue. I integrate my application with global search functionality, but global search always shows "More results... xxx (n) " even if there is only 1 result from my application. I've disabled all other applications so that there is enough room for displaying the results of my application for sure. Any hint when it shows result directly and when it shows "More results..."?

View 5 Replies View RelatedSo I've been noticing this problem recently and it's seriously confusing me about YouTube on the Eris (both in app and the mobile site.)The search results on the Eris for both app and m. site are missing a LOT of results compared to when I search the same thing on my laptop. I chalked that up to YouTube having HD options now like when I searched (please don't judge, it was a favor for my fiancee)

Everything works fine except that all google search results post UK based urls, rather than US and local search results. I have Google settings to remember my location but I cannot figure out to stop this from happening. It happens using the google search button or when using a bookmarked google web page.

When I click on the search button (magnifying glass), type in the name of a person I am looking for in my contacts, I come up with a list of people who match what I have typed. On my droid, I could then click on any of the results to bring up that persons contact information. On this phone, it flashes the contact information for about a 10th of a second then goes back to my search results. I can get the contact information by clicking on the icon for that person, then selecting the contacts icon that comes up below. Is this something that is going on with my phone only or are others having this issue also.

View 1 Replies View RelatedIf I search for "My photos" or "My photos of trees" (for example) in Google.com search on the desktop via Chrome, or from iOS Chrome or iOS Google Now, it works as expected and shows my pictures from my Google+ photos as it has since Google rolled out the feature months ago. However, on my new Nexus 7 running 4.3, I get no results from Google+ at all, whether I use Google Now or even just Google.com via Chrome.
I'm logged in to Google+, on Google.com via Chrome I see it in the header bar, but no "Google+ results" appear in my search results. Other services appear to work as expected, such as package tracking via searching "My packages". Saying "Show me photos of..." will pull up image results from the web. The only way to search for my Google+ photos I can find is to go to the Google+ app, to photos, hit the menu button, and then search. (terribly hidden, by the way!). That works fine.
Is it possible Google doesn't have this feature on Android Chrome or Android Google Now, but has it on everything else (desktop, iOS)?
I am customizing quick search to display data from my app. Its working fine. Now the issue is, When I click on search button, I am not able to see the search history. What should I do get the search history (previously searched keywords)?
