Added in API level 1
Key code constant: Search key.

Constant Value: 84 (0x00000054)

Also, you can dig into appium lib for more info

same here, tried 84, but as I understand this is not what I’m looking for.
the possible thing is https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/inputmethod/EditorInfo#IME_ACTION_SEARCH
but I have no idea how to use it instead of key events from here https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/KeyEvent.html
