There is a MetaDataAttribute that you can add to your activity.



[Activity]
[MetaData("android.app.searchable", Resource="@xml/searchable")]
public class MyActivity : Activity
{
}

You probably need to add both IntentFilterAttribute and MetaDataAttribute

The following solution works great for me:

[Activity (...)]
[IntentFilter(new[]{Intent.ActionSearch})]
[MetaData("android.app.searchable", Resource="@xml/searchable")]

public class MainActivity : Activity
{


...}

A good explanation on how to add a search function can be found here: http://codetheory.in/adding-search-to-android/
