Remarks

Important

To implement search in an app for Windows 10 or later, use AutoSuggestBox. See Auto-suggest box for more info.

You should not use Windows.ApplicationModel.Search APIs (SearchPane, SearchContract) or SearchBox APIs in apps for Windows 10 or later.

If your app integrates with the Search contract, a SearchActivatedEventArgs object is passed to your app's OnSearchActivated activation point handler when the user searches the app from the Search charm and your app is not the main app on screen. This type of activation is indicated by the ActivationKind.Search value returned by the Kind property.

All Application overrides involved in an activation scenario should call Window.Activate in their implementations.
