I am wondering if the rewriting rule applies to AdWords and search, I mean they probably would get very upset if their cashcow stops working, all of a sudden.

I think we should not take "rewrite" too literally.

But both, search and adwords, have been rewritten multiple times since their launch.

You can have a look at the papers created by Jeff Dean (1) and Sanjay Ghemawat (2) which mention some of the new concepts/technologies/features used in those products.

The AdWords API is now being re-written, the biggest change in ten years. It is migrating from XML to gRPC / protobuffers.

Disclosure: I co-author the Python client library and have written a few of the docs on the site listed above.
