It's very interesting.

When I use ASCII words as query strings, it worked. Cool!
But when I use UTF-8 Japanese words as query strings, I got:

#<SOAP::RPCUtils::Object:0x823bcf4>: Exception while handling service request: com.google.soap.search.GoogleSearchService.doGoogleSearch(java.lang.String,byte[],int,int,boolean,java.lang.String,boolean,java.lang.String,java.lang.String,java.lang.String) -- no signature match (SOAP::FaultError)


And some guy in SOAP-jp ML told me that Non-Alphabet characters
are ignored in this Google's Service. Ahhhh.
Will it support non-alphabet soon?
