Consider it necessary semi-protection. Unless you plan on watching that 
article for vandalism, which, without that NOEDITSECTION, happens once 
every 2-5 minutes, please do not complain so vehemently. This appears to 
be the best option until next month when some big changes occur. If you 
want, you can use a browser that allows you to search in edit boxes, 
such as Internet Explorer. But, the reality is, the majority of the 
George W. Bush article is alright and in need of little editing. The 
other option, which will happen if you remove the NOEDITSECTION, is to 
once again protect the page, so that only admins can edit it. This is a 
much freer option.
