This functionality is called Action View. It allows you to embed widgets into the action bar, and the widgets will substitute the action button when you click it.

Here is the Google's tutorial on how to embed SearchView into an action bar: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/search/search-dialog.html#UsingSearchWidget
