It's a combination of:
1. Keeping all your data in constant sync with a third party
2. You'd obviously have to do a sanity check now and then, even more code
3. Search isn't that important on most sites, 2.5% of visitors use ours
4. Trusting what is some of your most business critical information to a third party
5. Extra point of failure
We have an autocomplete (with all the 'reinvented' features you list), but it sorely needs some TLC to handle mis-spellings. I like the idea of that kind of easy to use auto-complete.

But on my server.
As I say, perhaps I'm not the target market.
