In order for the hardware search button to be enabled for your application, a
//application/meta-data tag need to be included in the AndroidManifest.xml
file. It would be nice if the MetaDataAttribute could be used to add this tag.
It should probably also be valid in the same contexts as the
ApplicationAttribute.

It should be documented here,
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/meta-data-element.html, but
it isn't. It is documented in the SearchableDatabase sample
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/meta-data-element.html.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.


Expected Results:  
Something like this:

<manifest ...>
<application ...>
    <!-- Points to searchable activity so the whole app can invoke search. -->
    <meta-data android:name="android.app.default_searchable"
        android:value=".SearchableDictionary" />
</application>
</manifest>
