I am trying to figure out the use of android.permission.GLOBAL_SEARCH documentation does not provide any useful information.
What I am trying to achieve and where I am confused?
IMO this permission may allow the system app (that search widgets on launcher) to perform Global Search just like a search but for apps that expose a provider (search) like contacts, calendar, and more. Is this true? Or is it just a deprecated permission that the Android team forgot to remove?
I am trying to make a system app that can query almost all of the data on the device like contacts, media, calendar, and provide a way to open that in a supported app like contact data in contact app (based on Authority of provider) is android.permission.GLOBAL_SEARCH something I can use or should I look for something else?
Thanks in advance for the help :)
