The system doesn't do the filtering automatically, because it wouldn't know how to filter your Cursor based on the string. You basically need to rerun the query with a new where-clause every time the user types something. If you have your own Adapter, you can easily do this by implementing runQueryOnBackgroundThread(). If you're using SimpleCursorAdapter directly, I think you need to set your own FilterQueryProvider for it.
