This is also how it works in English, except the concatenation may be written with a space as "A B". If anything, writing it as "AB" should make search more accurate, since you're less likely to get results with "BA" than getting results with "B A" when searching for "A B".

But while it's technically true that English also has compounds, it just writed them apart, it is also the case that German (don't know about Dutch) uses compounds, and especially long compounds with more than two nouns, a lot more than English, where you might more often use a whole sentence.
