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
