Answer 1

In order to completely disabled the Quick Search Bar, override the method onSearchRequested()and return true unconditionally.

Answer 2

override onKeyDown in your activity:

@Override
public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
    if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_SEARCH) {            
        return true;
    } else return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
}

Thanks buddy. But I have found a better solution. I have overridden the method onSearchRequested() and returned true from there. – Marrin
