## What it is
An Android UI library that replicates the persistent search bar seen in Google Now, Google Maps, and Google Play, with voice recognition support and customizable search listeners. The project is formally deprecated and unmaintained, with recommended alternatives like SearchView and FloatingSearchView.

## Use cases
- add a persistent search bar to my android app
- implement a google now style search widget
- material design search bar with voice input
- animated search overlay that reveals from a menu item
- search box with result suggestions and history icons
- android search ui with hamburger menu and tinted screen

## When to choose
- maintaining a legacy Android app already using this library
- you need the exact Google Now-style persistent search bar look on old Android versions

## When to avoid
- starting a new Android project - the library is deprecated and unmaintained
- you need ongoing bug fixes or modern Android support
- you want an actively maintained alternative like FloatingSearchView or SearchView
