I wonder what the excuse of the Smile team is for not being able to search application dictionaries?

Yes and there is actually a reason why the dictionary isn't searchable. (In
the old days you couldn't even look at the AppleScript dictionary in Script
Editor). Included in AppleScript's internal dictionary are classes and
other things that are not actually used but are there to provide developers
a common framework for working with those classes (at least that's how it
was explained to me.)
Bottom line is that the applescript internal dictionary is NOT designed as
documentation for the appleScript language and is not intended to be used
the same way application dictionaries are.
If you want documentation on a term, like 'repeat', go to the AppleScript
Language Guide or any of the numerous books written about appleScript, or
ask on this list or search the archives. Any of those methods will provide
a better, more definitive answer than poking around the AppleScript
dictionary in Script Editor.
