I suspect it's merely that the site is designed to construct search queries using Google as the default search engine -- along with Google's option to limit the search to a particular site. This saves the maintainers from having to install a search engine and keep it updated. (One other negative consequence of this setup is that it randomly chooses the version of documentation -- e.g. If I am on a .../doc/v2.20/... page and search for a term, it will happily offer up a match from .../doc/v2.22/..., .../doc/2.18/... or whatever else it finds.)
