Android: Search Tool in landscape orientation

Question

The Search Tool in StatusBar changes completely when in Landscape orientation.

It happens only when Search Bar is expanded.

Please see the screenshots.

EDIT

CODE:

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.action_menu, menu);

    SearchManager searchManager = (SearchManager) getSystemService(Context.SEARCH_SERVICE);
    SearchView searchView = (SearchView) menu.findItem(R.id.search).getActionView();
    int options = searchView.getImeOptions();
    searchView.setImeOptions(options| EditorInfo.IME_FLAG_NO_EXTRACT_UI);

    searchView.setSearchableInfo( searchManager.getSearchableInfo(getComponentName()) );
    searchView.setIconified(true);
    searchView.clearFocus();

    return true;
}

XML:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<searchable xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
     android:label="@string/app_name"
     android:searchSuggestAuthority="Search in a Collection/Book or Favorites"
    />

And menu

<item
    android:id="@+id/search"
    app:actionViewClass="android.support.v7.widget.SearchView"
    app:showAsAction="ifRoom"
    android:title="Search in a Collection/Book or Favorites"/>

Finally fixed it. Put android:imeOptions="actionSearch|flagNoExtractUi|flagNoFullscreen" in your SEARCHABLE xml if you are using widget SearchView.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<searchable xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:imeOptions="actionSearch|flagNoExtractUi|flagNoFullscreen"
/>
