Hi Shweta,

If I understand correctly, you want to be able to scope the search to a specific set of items based on a selection the user made trough a dropdown or other element?

I do know it is possible to scope results from within your app but I’ve never done so myself. There are probably good things about it in the documentation on http://developer.android.com/

Thanks for the reply! Hope this helps.
