To save search queries when the activity is destroyed, use the method searchBar.getLastSuggestions() and then, to restore them use searchBar.setLastSuggestions(List<String>); as shown in the example below

Example

Here is a simple example of using MaterialSearchBar

private List<String> lastSearches;
private MaterialSearchBar searchBar;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    searchBar = (MaterialSearchBar) findViewById(R.id.searchBar);
    searchBar.setHint("Custom hint");
    searchBar.setSpeechMode(true);
    //enable searchbar callbacks
    searchBar.setOnSearchActionListener(this);
    //restore last queries from disk
    lastSearches = loadSearchSuggestionFromDisk();
    searchBar.setLastSuggestions(list);
    //Inflate menu and setup OnMenuItemClickListener
    searchBar.inflateMenu(R.menu.main);
    searchBar.getMenu().setOnMenuItemClickListener(this);
}

@Override
protected void onDestroy() {
    super.onDestroy();
    //save last queries to disk
    saveSearchSuggestionToDisk(searchBar.getLastSuggestions());
}

@Override
public void onSearchStateChanged(boolean enabled) {
    String s = enabled ? "enabled" : "disabled";
    Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Search " + s, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}

@Override
public void onSearchConfirmed(CharSequence text) {
    startSearch(text.toString(), true, null, true);
}

@Override
public void onButtonClicked(int buttonCode) {
    switch (buttonCode){
        case MaterialSearchBar.BUTTON_NAVIGATION:
            drawer.openDrawer(Gravity.LEFT);
            break;
        case MaterialSearchBar.BUTTON_SPEECH:
            openVoiceRecognizer();
    }
}
