just go to "system/usr/keylayout/" and modify "thunder_keypad.kl" and "qwerty.kl", exchange the text on the key 217 (search) with the text "power"
It should appear as:
key 217 SEARCH WAKE_DROPPED
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It should end like this:
key 217 POWER WAKE_DROPPED
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And that's it.

Edit : do we have to change key127 Search wake dropped to power wake dropped??

Did you change the keys on both files? Thunder_keypad.kl and QWERTY.kl?
If that doesn't work try deleting every other entry with "search" and "power" other than the two modified lines.

Ya i changed both still not working
Now trying to do what u said by changing all other keys

Going by your question il guess you are on miui(if not ignore and pls give more info about rom ur using,if yes then continue reading)
To take a screenshot in MIUI press the menu key(the led lit left key not the black key) and the volume down button together ...
Its preferred to press menu key before volume down so that your volume doesnt decrease while taking the screen shot

I think it's not a question, but a small "how to" for those who don't know how to take screenshots
