Some Cable TV systems do search using just the arrow keys and enter. I think part of the problem is the e-Ink refresh rate. This isn't usually a big deal for full page reading, but it could be for interactive text entry. It can probably be worked around, but the technology is new enough that we don't have a very large baseline of "expected" capabilities (LCD-based devices are expected to come with text entry, for example, and it would create negative comment if this were missing).
