In case you haven't found an answer,this is how I'm doing it (I am using ActionBarSherlock):

• add an entry to the menu declaration

• In your activity override"onCreateOptionsMenu" to inflate your menu and associate your SearcView :

  public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(final Menu menu) {
      getSupportMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main_menu, menu);
      this.refreshMenuItem = menu.findItem(R.id.menu_refresh);
  
      this.searchView = (SearchView) menu.findItem(R.id.menu_search).getActionView();
      this.searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(new SearchView.OnQueryTextListener() {
  
      @Override
      public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String query) {
          // collapse the view ?
          menu.findItem(R.id.menu_search).collapseActionView();
          return false;
      }
  
      @Override
      public boolean onQueryTextChange(String newText) {
          // search goes here !!
          // listAdapter.getFilter().filter(query);
          return false;
      }
  
  });
  

That's it, no other activities. Hope you find it useful.
