Answer 1

you can use the follow

in Menu

    @Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
    getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_al_ayats, menu);

    SearchManager searchManager =
            (SearchManager) getSystemService(Context.SEARCH_SERVICE);
    SearchView searchView =
            (SearchView) menu.findItem(R.id.action_search).getActionView();
    Bundle appData = new Bundle();
    appData.putString("hello", "world");

    searchView.setAppSearchData(appData);

    searchView.setSearchableInfo(
            searchManager.getSearchableInfo(getComponentName()));

    return true;
}

and in your search result activity put the below

    @Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_activity_search_result);

    handleIntent(getIntent());
}

    private void handleIntent(Intent intent) {

    if (Intent.ACTION_SEARCH.equals(intent.getAction())) {
        String extrastring=intent.getBundleExtra(SearchManager.APP_DATA).getString("hello");
        //use the query to search your data somehow
        getSupportActionBar().setTitle(extrastring);
    }
}
