[mono-android] How to implement search functionality

[dawson]

I'm having difficulty getting the search functionality to work.

I have the following as a search activity

[Activity(Label = "Search")]
[IntentFilter(new[] { Intent.ActionSearch })]
[MetaData("android.app.searchable", Resource = "@xml/searchable")]
public class SearchActivity : ListActivity
{ 
 ....

and in an activity where I want the search to be activated from I have
 [Activity(Label = "Test Search")]
 [MetaData("android.app.default_searchable", Value =
"com.test.SearchActivity")]
 public class TestSearchActivity : Activity,
Android.Views.View.IOnClickListener
 {
...

I have included the searchable.xml file in the res/xml folder
Looking at the generated manifest it all looks as described in the google
android docs.

But when I press the search button or call OnSearchRequested, nothing
happens?

What am I doing wrong. Are there any samples anywhere?
This is targeting Android 2.2 btw.

Thanks, D
