+ * <h3>Exposing Search Suggestions to Quick Search Box</h3>
+ *
+ * <p>Once your application is setup to provide search suggestions, making them available to the
+ * globally accessable Quick Search Box is as easy as setting android:includeInGlobalSearch to
+ * "true" in your searchable metadata file. Beyond that, here are some more details of how
+ * suggestions interact with Quick Search Box, and optional ways that you may customize suggestions
+ * for your application.
+ *
+ * <p><b>Source Ranking:</b> Once your application's search results are made available to Quick
+ * Search Box, how they surface to the user for a particular query will depend on how many
+ * other apps have results for that query, and how often the user has clicked on your results
+ * compared to the other apps'. The apps with the best track record within Quick Search
+ * Box will get queried earlier and have a better chance of showing their results in the top few
+ * slots. If there are more results than can be displayed to the user within a screen or two, the
+ * results may spill into a "more results" section that groups the remaining results by
+ * source. The newest apps with little usage information are given middle of the road positioning
+ * until enough usage information is available to rank it as usual. The exact formula for ranking
+ * the results is not set in stone, but suffice it is to say that providing quality results will
+ * increase the likelihood that your app's suggestions are provided in a prominent position, and
+ * apps that provide lower quality suggestions will be more likely to be pushed into the spillover
+ * area.
+ *
+ * <p><b>Search Settings:</b> Each app that is available to Quick Search Box has an entry in the
+ * system settings where the user can enable or disable the inclusion of its results. Below the
+ * name of the application, each application may provide a brief description of what kind of
+ * information will be made available via a search settings description string pointed to by the
+ * android:searchSettingsDescription attribute in the searchable metadata.
+ *
+ * <p><b>Shortcuts:</b> Suggestions that are clicked on by the user are automatically made into
+ * shortcuts, or, copied so they can quickly be displayed to the user before querying any of
+ * the sources. Thereafter, the shortcutted suggestion will be displayed for the query that yielded
+ * the suggestion and for any prefixes of that query. When multiple shortcuts are made available
+ * for a given query, they are ranked based on recency and the number of clicks they have received.
+ * You can control how your suggestions are made into shortcuts, and whether they are refreshed,
+ * using the {@link #SUGGEST_COLUMN_SHORTCUT_ID} column:
+ * <ul><li>Suggestions that do not include a shortcut id column will be made into shortcuts and
+ * never refreshed. This makes sense for suggestions that refer to data that will never be changed
+ * or removed.</li>
+ * <li>Suggestions that include a shortcut id will be re-queried for a fresh version of the
+ * suggestion each time the shortcut is displayed. The shortcut will be quickly displayed with
+ * whatever data was most recently available until the refresh query returns, after which the
+ * suggestion will be dynamically refreshed with the up to date information. The shortcut refresh
+ * query will be sent to your suggestion provider with a uri of {@link #SUGGEST_URI_PATH_SHORTCUT}.
+ * The result should contain one suggestion using the same columns as the suggestion query, or be
+ * empty, indicating that the shortcut is no longer valid. Shortcut ids make sense when referring
+ * to data that may change over time, such as a contact's presence status. If a suggestion refers
+ * to data that could take longer to refresh, such as a network based refresh of a stock quote, you
+ * may include {@link #SUGGEST_COLUMN_SPINNER_WHILE_REFRESHING} to show a progress spinner for the
+ * right hand icon until the refresh is complete.</li>
+ * <li>Finally, to prevent a suggestion from being copied into a shortcut, you may provide a
+ * shortcut id with a value of {@link #SUGGEST_NEVER_MAKE_SHORTCUT}.</li></ul>
