I'm trying to set up a screen so that when you click on the magnifying glass at the bottom of the phone it doesn't show the standard search area at the top of the screen: essentially, have it ignore (or catch it so I can do nothing) when the magnifying class is clicked on?

Override the onSearchRequested method of Activity class:
public boolean onSearchRequested() {
// Do whatever you want here.
return true;
}

I've tested it till Version 2.2. I don't have a 2.3 device with Search button for testing. – Mudassir Nov 02 '12 at 02:30
