when querying by searchview ( searchable || searchview widget ) you can pass parameter to searchActivity ( searchResultActivity ) by define your own OnQueryTextListener like this.

searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(new OnQueryTextListener() {

        @Override
        public boolean onQueryTextChange(String arg0) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            return false;
        }

        @Override
        public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String query) {
            Intent searchIntent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), SearchResultsActivity.class);
            searchIntent.putExtra(SearchManager.QUERY, query);
            searchIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEARCH);
            startActivity(searchIntent);
            return true;
        }
    });
