After googling and little brain storming i found solution on my own, so i would like to share it with you.

In Joomla we have to create a plugin to enhance features of search
module.

If we want that the "search module" to search data from our custom
compenents then we have to create a plugin for that. This link is
very useful while creating  a joomla search plugin
"http://docs.joomla.org/Creating_a_search_plugin".

once a plugin is created you need to zip the folder and then upload
your plugin through the joomla "Extension Manager" in the admin
panel.

If you want to have only search criteria from the component and not
articles, weblinks, categories etc "disable" these plugins.
