The search feature in Q2A is very good! Why would you want to change that?

Alphabetical language which separates words by space is satisfactory.  However, in order that Japanese or Korean don't separate words by space, the dictionary of Q2A is not made correctly. Therefore, it is meaningful to use Google custom search depending on language.
