Composability.
In Dutch (and German too), you can take 2 nouns and glue them together to form a new noun (the order determines the semantics). It's very powerful and allows you to create new words "at runtime", at the very moment you need them. As a side effect, the number of nouns in Dutch is infinite, and you can quite easily build infinite words; for example it's easy to suffix "plan" or "fabriek" or "verkopersassistente".
This feature does not fit google which seems to support only languages with finite dictionaries (I wonder how well google search performs for Finish or Hungarian)
(In case you were wondering; Yes, scrabble is really easy )
