## What it is
An Android UI library implementing a floating search bar (persistent search) with search suggestions, built in Java following Material Design. It is no longer actively maintained.

## Use cases
- add a floating search bar to an android app
- implement persistent search with suggestions in material design
- show search suggestions as the user types on android
- customize a material search view with hamburger or home action
- embed a search box overlay in an android layout

## When to choose
- you need a Material Design persistent search bar in a Java/Kotlin Android app
- you want built-in search suggestion swapping and animations
- you are okay maintaining a fork since the project is unmaintained

## When to avoid
- you need actively maintained dependencies with bug fixes
- you are building with Jetpack Compose rather than XML views
- you need search functionality beyond the UI component itself

## Facets

- function: ui-components, search-engine
- domain: mobile-development, android-tools, web-design
