i think the fact the question searching appears to be so unreliable compounds the first point you make - questions seem to get lost in the melee...

Actually rep is not an illusion. Rep determines what you can do on the site, it determines not only how much influence you can exert, but also how much you can contribute at all. I cannot even disagree with your answer via downvote here on meta, because of this alleged illusion, simply because I posted something unpopular and on meta "downvotes mean something different", although the fact that I cannot disagree with your answer shows that to be false as well.
