长按菜单可在操作栏中打开其他SearchView小部件

Question

I have a search icon in my Activity 's action bar and when I click it it opens a default Android SearchView widget in my action bar. However, if I long-click capacitive menu button on my Samsung Galaxy S3 device it opens a different SearchView widget that doesn't even match with my app's action bar. Furthermore, with menu long-click I can open the SearchView widget in my searchable Activity that doesn't even have the search icon in the action bar and isn't the desired Activity to support the SearchView widget in the action bar, it is just for handling the search Intent . I'll post some screenshots for you to better understand my problem...

My MainActivity with search icon: My MainActivity with SearchView widget expanded via search icon press: My MainActivity after menu long-click (completely different SearchView widget style): My searchable Activity (doesn't contain search icon and shouldn't provide search): My searchable Activity after menu long-click ( SearchView widget shouldn't exist here...): So I am asking you to help me to find out:

1. Why menu long-click action opens completely different SearchView widget?
2. Why is it possible to open that SearchView widget in the searchable Activity that shouldn't support search functionality but just handle the search Intent sent from my MainActivity which should be the only Activity that contains the search icon and search functionality?
3. How to achieve that menu long-click opens the same SearchView widget as the search icon in the action bar and only in the MainActivity ?
4. If 3 isn't possible then how to completely disable the menu long-click actions?

Here's the answer for 4th question. Add this function in your activity class.

@Override
public boolean onSearchRequested() {
    return false;
}
