 * <p><b>Providing access to Content Providers that require permissions.</b>  If your content

 * provider declares an android:readPermission in your application's manifest, you must provide

 * access to the search infrastructure to the search suggestion path by including a path-permission

 * that grants android:readPermission access to "android.permission.GLOBAL_SEARCH".  Granting access

 * explicitly to the search infrastructure ensures it will be able to access the search suggestions

 * without needing to know ahead of time any other details of the permissions protecting your

 * provider.  Content providers that require no permissions are already available to the search

 * infrastructure.  Here is an example of a provider that protects access to it with permissions,

 * and provides read access to the search infrastructure to the path that it expects to receive the

 * suggestion query on:

 * <pre class="prettyprint">

 * <provider android:name="MyProvider" android:authorities="myprovider"

 *        android:readPermission="android.permission.READ_MY_DATA"

 *        android:writePermission="android.permission.WRITE_MY_DATA">

 *    <path-permission android:path="/search_suggest_query"

 *            android:readPermission="android.permission.GLOBAL_SEARCH" />

 * </provider>

 * </pre>

 *

 * <p><b>Handling empty queries.</b>  Your application should handle the "empty query"

 * (no user text entered) case properly, and generate useful suggestions in this case.  There are a

 * number of ways to do this;  Two are outlined here:

 *         <td align="center">No</td>

 *     </tr>

 *     

 *     <tr><th>{@link #SUGGEST_COLUMN_INTENT_EXTRA_DATA}</th>

 *         <td>If this column exists <i>and</i> this element exists at a given row, this is the

 *             data that will be used when forming the suggestion's intent.  If not provided,

 *             the Intent's extra data field will be null.  This column allows suggestions to

 *             provide additional arbitrary data which will be included as an extra under the

 *             key {@link #EXTRA_DATA_KEY}.</td>

 *         <td align="center">No.</td>

 *     </tr>

 *             data that will be used when forming the suggestion's query.</td>

 *             {@link android.content.Intent#ACTION_SEARCH ACTION_SEARCH}, optional otherwise.</td>

 *     </tr>

 *

 *     <tr><th>{@link #SUGGEST_COLUMN_SHORTCUT_ID}</th>

 *         <td>This column is used to indicate whether a search suggestion should be stored as a

 *             shortcut, and whether it should be validated.  Shortcuts are usually formed when the

 *             user clicks a suggestion from Quick Search Box.  If missing, the result will be

 *             stored as a shortcut and never refreshed.  If set to

 *             {@link #SUGGEST_NEVER_MAKE_SHORTCUT}, the result will not be stored as a shortcut.

 *             Otherwise, the shortcut id will be used to check back for for an up to date

 * <h3>Exposing Search Suggestions to Quick Search Box</h3>

 * 

 * <p>

 * <p>Once your application is setup to provide search suggestions, making them available to the

 * globally accessable Quick Search Box is as easy as setting android:includeInGlobalSearch to

 * "true" in your searchable metadata file.  Beyond that, here are some more details of how

 * suggestions interact with Quick Search Box, and optional ways that you may customize suggestions

 * for your application.

 *

 * <p><b>Source Ranking:</b>  Once your application's search results are made available to Quick

 * Search Box, how they surface to the user for a particular query will depend on how many

 * other apps have results for that query, and how often the user has clicked on your results

 * compared to the other apps'.  The apps with the best track record within Quick Search

 * Box will get queried earlier and have a better chance of showing their results in the top few

 * slots.  If there are more results than can be displayed to the user within a screen or two, the

 * results may spill into a "more results" section that groups the remaining results by

 * source.  The newest apps with little usage information are given middle of the road positioning

 * until enough usage information is available to rank it as usual.  The exact formula for ranking

 * the results is not set in stone, but suffice it is to say that providing quality results will

 * increase the likelihood that your app's suggestions are provided in a prominent position, and

 * apps that provide lower quality suggestions will be more likely to be pushed into the spillover

 * area.

 *

 * <p><b>Search Settings:</b>  Each app that is available to Quick Search Box has an entry in the

 * system settings where the user can enable or disable the inclusion of its results.  Below the

 * name of the application, each application may provide a brief description of what kind of

 * information will be made available via a search settings description string pointed to by the

 * android:searchSettingsDescription attribute in the searchable metadata.

 *

 * <p><b>Shortcuts:</b>  Suggestions that are clicked on by the user are automatically made into

 * shortcuts, or, copied so they can quickly be displayed to the user before querying any of

 * the sources. Thereafter, the shortcutted suggestion will be displayed for the query that yielded

 * the suggestion and for any prefixes of that query.  When multiple shortcuts are made available

 * for a given query, they are ranked based on recency and the number of clicks they have received.

 * You can control how your suggestions are made into shortcuts, and whether they are refreshed,

 * using the {@link #SUGGEST_COLUMN_SHORTCUT_ID} column:

 * <ul><li>Suggestions that do not include a shortcut id column will be made into shortcuts and

 * never refreshed.  This makes sense for suggestions that refer to data that will never be changed

 * or removed.</li>

 * <li>Suggestions that include a shortcut id will be re-queried for a fresh version of the

 * suggestion each time the shortcut is displayed.  The shortcut will be quickly displayed with

 * whatever data was most recently available until the refresh query returns, after which the

 * suggestion will be dynamically refreshed with the up to date information.  The shortcut refresh

 * query will be sent to your suggestion provider with a uri of {@link #SUGGEST_URI_PATH_SHORTCUT}.

 * The result should contain one suggestion using the same columns as the suggestion query, or be

 * empty, indicating that the shortcut is no longer valid.  Shortcut ids make sense when referring

 * to data that may change over time, such as a contact's presence status.  If a suggestion refers

 * to data that could take longer to refresh, such as a network based refresh of a stock quote, you

 * may include {@link #SUGGEST_COLUMN_SPINNER_WHILE_REFRESHING} to show a progress spinner for the

 * right hand icon until the refresh is complete.</li>

 * <li>Finally, to prevent a suggestion from being copied into a shortcut, you may provide a

 * shortcut id with a value of {@link #SUGGEST_NEVER_MAKE_SHORTCUT}.</li></ul>
