If I delete that part the statement changes greatly.
It goes from "They never gave a reason such as we've removed the search function because It's a tool that supposed to help you restore item you accidentally deleted, it's not a free storage for items that you deleted weeks or months ago, neither it is a tool to gear up your offspec, because you decided that now you want your gear back. So, yeah, search function removal is not random and i just explained why it was removed."
To "They never gave any reason at all ever."
Those are two very different statements to argue against. So you cut the quote and changed the meaning so you could reply with "That sounds like a reason for the removal?" an easy, obvious, and completely pointless statement.
The rest was just the speculation as to why that you agree with.
Charge and you are probably at least partly right that them not liking how people are/were using the feature is why or at least a big part of why, but blizzard never said that or anything like it. I personally think it had something to do with dealing with titan residuum exploits.
