Answer 1

you can reach the search text view by using the resources -> getSystem -> getIdentifier

Resources.getSystem().getIdentifier("search_src_text",
    "id", "android")

after that you can perform clearText(), then type the text that you want and perform the click on the keycode enter

onView(withId(Resources.getSystem().getIdentifier("search_src_text",
"id", "android"))).perform(clearText(),typeText("enter the text"))
.perform(pressKey(KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER))

Answer 2

I was reading about that and find a google example about that's

onView(withId(R.id.action_search)).perform(click());  //open the searchView
    
onView(withId(R.id.search_src_text)).perform(typeText("Replace this text"));// the text was input
            
onView(withId(R.id.action_search)).perform(pressKey(KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER));  // starting the object  search
