            <item name="searchViewSearchIcon">@drawable/my_search_icon</item>
            <item name="searchAutoCompleteTextView">@style/searchTextView</item>
    </style>

    <style name="searchTextView" parent="Widget.Sherlock.SearchAutoCompleteTextView">
            <item name="android:textColor">@android:color/black</item>
            <item name="android:textColorHint">@android:color/red</item>
