Add Item menu Search ! 

  <item
    android:id="@+id/option_menu_search"
    app:actionViewClass="android.support.v7.widget.SearchView"
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_search_white_24dp"
    android:orderInCategory="10"
    app:showAsAction="ifRoom|collapseActionView"
    android:title="@string/abc_searchview_description_search"
    >

add in your onOptionsItemSelected

SearchView searchView = (SearchView) menu.findItem(R.id.option_menu_search).getActionView();

then

 searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(new SearchView.OnQueryTextListener() {

            @Override
            public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String query) {

                return true;
            }

            @Override
            public boolean onQueryTextChange(String newText) {

                return true;
            } });
