How to change the Joomla search plugin to search for tables that I added to my database?

Question

Most of my content is in a new table, which I added to JOOMLA cms. I have to add a search plugin that can do a search on this table.

Here is a basic table search that I cannot include in the search plugin.

Select * FROM `jos_table` WHERE Abc = 'xyz'

Do not modify the existing Joomla search plugin; create a new one to sit next to other search plugins: http://docs.joomla.org/How_to_create_a_search_plugin
