This (Invoking the search dialog) should help (linked to a certain part of the page, but all of it is relevant).

The search widget is a Google app and is non standard. The standard search dialog can be seen in the Twitter app or Android Market Play Store.

In HoneyComb and later the dialog has turned into a widget on the ActionBar. Here's the developer's guide to search http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/search/index.html
