## What it is
An Android library that implements a Material Design styled SearchView widget for apps targeting API 14 and above. It provides a toolbar-integrated search interface with query text listeners, suggestions, and voice search support.

## Use cases
- add a material design search bar to an android app
- implement search with suggestions in an android toolbar
- add voice search to an android app
- create a search overlay that displays over the toolbar
- handle search query submit and text change events in android

## When to choose
- you are building an android app with a Material Design toolbar and need a polished search experience
- you want drop-in search functionality with suggestions and voice search without building it from scratch
- your app supports older android versions down to API 14

## When to avoid
- you are building for modern android and prefer the official AndroidX SearchView or materialdoc approach
- you need a search backend or indexing engine rather than a UI widget
- you are not developing for the android platform

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: ui-components, search-engine
- domain: mobile-development, android-tools, web-design
- platform: jvm
- tags: material-design, searchview, android-ui, voice-search, search-suggestions, android
