SearchView

public class SearchView
extends LinearLayoutCompat implements CollapsibleActionView

java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.view.View
     ↳ android.view.ViewGroup
       ↳ androidx.appcompat.widget.LinearLayoutCompat
         ↳ androidx.appcompat.widget.SearchView

A widget that provides a user interface for the user to enter a search query and submit a request to a search provider. Shows a list of query suggestions or results, if available, and allows the user to pick a suggestion or result to launch into.

When the SearchView is used in an ActionBar as an action view, it's collapsed by default, so you must provide an icon for the action.

If you want the search field to always be visible, then call setIconifiedByDefault(false).
