I was looking around, but couldn't find a good reference for how to implement the search overlay for windows phone applications. I want to emulate how search is implemented in the store, music, and other system type applications.
I have the application bar created with the icon, but not sure what is happening when the button is clicked. It appears that some overlay is transitioned in on top of the page. I can emulate this, but since this seems like such a common scenario, I hoped there would be a guide to enable consistent experience across applications.
