It does not > search the region (IIUC). It searches for the selected text. 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".
