Yes, they need to update the topic. We are back in the "Google knows best 
when it comes to search" era.

That's it! I just need to become a "select" developer. I already wanted to 
do that.

App Indexing does seem like the closest match. However, the purpose is 
different. 
App Indexing would allow more users to find deep pages in my app. 

I would be content if they just found quick reference information in the 
search results itself.

Can't speak with any ah-tho-ri-tah, but sure doesn't look like it. Feels
like this global search feature was a thing back in the days of the Google
Search Widget and Search being a dedicated physical button on devices.

Google Now seems to be the new de facto system search, so may that?

Though it looks like it's still only available to select developers.

[android-developers] Does Quick Search Suggestions still work in Android 4+?

[Nathan]

We've been implementing this:

http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/search/adding-custom-suggestions.html#QSB

It looks like the topic hasn't been updated in a few years. 

To enable search suggestions from your application, the user must open 
"Searchable items" (in Settings > Search) and enable your application as a 
searchable item.
Well, in my 5.0 device, I don't see any Settings->Search.  

I don't see in 4.x emulator. 
A colleague found it on a 2.3 emulator. 

This topic implies it only works on 2.3 or lower. 
https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/168456?hl=en

If so, they should mention it in the article. 

Is the topic valid for anything greater than 2.x? 
Any equivalent I shouldl be looking for? Perhaps app indexing, but not 
quite the same.
