Again, please rename the command. The name is misleading.
The command neither searches the region nor searches for the
region (which would anyway be meaningless, from point).
It searches a buffer (I assume) for the text in the region.
People checking command names (via apropos commands or
completion matching, for example) looking for commands
that do something to the region can stumble on this.
(And people looking for a command that searches for the
selected text are unlikely to find it.)
A guess is that this was named by someone for whom
English is not the first language. "Search X" is not
the same as "search for X".
