I would guess that searches are complicated by DRM. Each book with DRM would need to be temporarily decrypted to be searched, so the searching mechanism would need to be able to deal with that, and it would add a fair bit of time to the operation. Perhaps Sony thought it was more trouble than it was worth to provide this feature.
