This is a great point. And additionally, when the storage and compute are cloud-based, and they get charged on a per-compute basis, you can start to see why every platform's search has gotten worse: they're incentivized to restrict the amount of searching that happens, because each search requires more compute, and probably compute of things that aren't cached already?
So you limit the amount of search and recommend the cache-able content, and cha-ching.
This is why searching for transactions in Stripe is a disaster, or finding email history in SendGrid is a pain, or any other search function on a sufficiently large data set.
Remember the compute costs: that's why it's purposefully built to be hard to find what you're looking for.
