## What it is
An Android UI library providing a Material Design search bar view with speech mode, suggestions, and customizable icons. It is distributed via JitPack and added directly to Android layouts as a custom view.

## Use cases
- add a material design search bar to an android app
- show search suggestions as the user types
- add voice search button to a search field
- customize search bar colors and icons
- implement a search view with menu and navigation icons

## When to choose
- building a native Android app in Java that needs a Material-style search bar
- you want drop-in XML attributes for hints, suggestion counts, and speech mode
- you need a lightweight view rather than a full search framework

## When to avoid
- building for iOS, web, or cross-platform frameworks
- your project uses Jetpack Compose rather than XML views
- you need active maintenance or recent updates

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: ui-components, search-engine
- domain: android-tools, mobile-development, frontend
- platform: -
- tags: material-design, searchbar, android-view, java, suggestions, android
