Before you invest in a hardware solution you should try out the remote app from Google. A) It may be enough for what you are looking for B) it's a great way to try out the feature C) It will let you know how your device/TV functions with the voice service.
Although USB microphones work with AndroidTV their functionality may be limited, I found this thread where someone asks the same question about their Sony TV. They recommend this microphone .
It should allow for voice search when the search button is pressed but unfortunately "Ok Google" hotword detection doesn't exist for any AndroidTV so you'll still have to use the remote to trigger the search.
