             <!-- Pre Lollipop devices display a generic search icon, if none is
                  provided here. To use this we need to set the resource to 0.
                  For Lollipop and later the search launcher icon ist used.
                  To retrieve the resource value the Bundle.getInt() method is
                  used, so we use integer resources instead of drawables, because
                  setting a drawable referenced to 0 results in errors when used
                  as a real drawable resource somewhere else. -->
