One of the nice things about Emacs is that everything is a buffer and
can be treated as text that you process just like any file or non-file
buffer.  If someone wants to search a buffer, I consider it improper for
a package to inhibit them from doing so.

(I haven't checked, but I am guessing that C-r is supposed to be a
mnemonic for "refresh"?  It would be more conventional to bind this to
"g", that `special-mode' binds to `revert-buffer' -- this also means
that you can just use `revert-buffer-function' directly instead.)
