Google Search Bar doesn't accept Japanese chars

The built-in Google search bar doesn't seem to accept Japanese characters as the search criteria. The search box on the Google site (www.google.com) does, however. Will the future release have the Google bar behave the same way as the Google site's search box does? I'd like to be able to use the Google bar to search using Japanese input.

Thanks,
Dai

Maybe it as to do with the fixed HTTP Accept-languages pref?

Where is the documentation about the search toolbar?

I added one line in the google.src file (searchplugins directory) and it worked

<search
name="Google"
description="Google Search"
method="GET"
action="http://www.google.com/search"
update="http://www.google.com/mozilla/google.src"
updateCheckDays=1
queryCharset="UTF-8"

can you file a bug on this please? it looks like an easy enough fix that I can probably make the change if you assign the bug to me.
