SearchView and ActionbarSherlock

I've inserted a search capability in my actionBar. I can see the search icon, but am unable to show the search dialog box in the actionBar. I've tried modifying the v14 abs_themes file as recommended by others with no luck. My xml menu is as follows:

<item
    android:id="@+id/search"
    android:title="search sites"
    android:icon="@drawable/action_search"
    android:showAsAction="collapseActionView|always"
    android:actionViewClass="com.ActionbarSherlock.widget.SearchView" >
</item>
<item
    android:id="@+id/grid"
    android:icon="@drawable/images_on"
    android:showAsAction="ifRoom"
    android:title="Grid">
</item>

In onCreateOptionsMenu, I've inserted:

public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {

    this.menu = menu;

    MenuInflater inflater = getSupportMenuInflater();
    inflater.inflate(R.menu.sites_actionbar, menu);

    // Associate searchable configuration with the SearchView
    SearchManager searchManager = (SearchManager)getSystemService(Context.SEARCH_SERVICE);
    SearchView searchView = (SearchView)menu.findItem(R.id.search).getActionView();


    if (searchView != null) {

        searchView.setSearchableInfo(searchManager.getSearchableInfo(getComponentName()));
        searchView.setIconifiedByDefault(true);
        searchView.setSubmitButtonEnabled(true);

        searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(this);

    }

I keep getting following ClassNotFoundException:

Class names are case sensitive - you need to use

android:actionViewClass="com.actionbarsherlock.widget.SearchView"

Note the lack of capital letters in actionbarsherlock.
