You'll need (1) a searchable.xml like ekjyot just suggested and (2) a content provider. It's a pretty good sized project so hopefully you have a bit of Android experience already. One AWESOME resource is this article on the Android developer's site: http://developer.android.com/resources/articles/qsb.html. Good luck and come back if you have specific questions!

Make a searchable.xml like :

     <searchable xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
   android:label="@string/search_label"
   android:searchSettingsDescription="@string/settings_description"
   android:includeInGlobalSearch="true"
   android:searchSuggestAuthority="dictionary"
   android:searchSuggestIntentAction="android.intent.action.VIEW">
</searchable>

You must refer to the following link.It will help you.
