name - It is common to use q for the search query box name. id - Setting an ID can make it easy to reference the input box from JavaScript which we will use later.

This doesn't seem quite the same as the shot you included, which looks to me like it still has a dock above the search widget, but it did at least let me put the widget in the place you want. I just had a quick go with Nova Launcher (my preferred launcher) and was able to place a search widget in (or over) my dock. If you can point us to the page in AndroidCentral where you found that image it might give us a clue as to what launcher they are using. Different manufacturers bundle different launchers with their phones, but you don't have to use the manufacturer's choice, you can download an alternative and use that. The home screens are provided by an app called a 'Launcher', and it's the launcher's capabilities and options that determine how you can lay the screen out, not the Android version or the manufacturer. The thing you need to know is that there is no such thing as a 'normal' layout for any version of Android. No, on most launchers the bottom row is the 'dock', a fixed row of icons that stays in place when you swipe between homescreens.
