SearchManager display another icon instead of the magnifier

How can I change the icon on the right of the search manager? The default icon is a magnifier, but I've seen an app that does display instead of an magnifier an "OK"!

For my needs, the magnifier icon is not so good. I use the SearchManage开发者_JAVA技巧r to display the history of typed words. So a better icon is OK instead of a search icon.

Late to the party, but I have done this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<searchable xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  android:label="@string/app_name"
  android:hint="@string/search_hint"
  android:icon="@drawable/search_icon" 
  android:searchButtonText="@string/ok_string">
</searchable>

Using the 'searchButtonText' attribute you can replace the default icon with your own text. The documentation is here: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/search/searchable-config.html

What you won't find in the documentation is that you MUST use a string defined in your string resources, as shown above.

You can NOT do like this android:searchButtonText="OK"

Although documentations said it is deprecated and that the default icon is used, its still worth a shot. Try to do the following.

Corresponding with what you had in your comment regarding meta-data and supplying your own XML resource file for searches.

searchable.xml

<searchable xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
   android:icon="@drawable/your_OK_image"
   android:label="@string/search_label"
   android:hint="@string/search_hint" >
</searchable>
