app:showAsAction ifRoom is not working on appcompat action bar

I have an action bar with the following menu items; ``` <menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" tools:context="com.blah.blah.app.ClientActivity" > <item android:id="@+id/action_search" android:icon="@drawable/search" android:title="@string/action_search" android:orderInCategory="1" app:showAsAction="ifRoom|withText"/> <item android:id="@+id/action_settings" android:title="@string/action_settings" android:orderInCategory="5" app:showAsAction="ifRoom"/> <item android:id="@+id/action_waiter" android:title="@string/action_waiter" android:orderInCategory="6" app:showAsAction="ifRoom"/> <item android:id="@+id/action_cleantable" android:title="@string/action_cleantable" android:orderInCategory="7" app:showAsAction="ifRoom"/> <item android:id="@+id/action_suggest" android:title="@string/action_suggest" android:orderInCategory="8" app:showAsAction="ifRoom"/> <item android:id="@+id/action_waiterlogin" android:title="@string/action_waiterlogin" android:orderInCategory="9" app:showAsAction="ifRoom"/> </menu> ``` The problem is my search button doesn't show on action bar but the text is showed in overflow. There's plenty of room in my action bar I'm using `"@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light"` Can anyone help me ?
