So Google will be shutting down search then? Or perhaps: maybe some tasks like finding things are by definition 'pull', and others are better suited to 'push'?

"Shutting down", probably not, but Google has been overtly, for many years, working to move more of what people use Search for into more "push" rather than "pull" based services. That's the core of, particularly, Google Now -- pushing information you would have been likely to have sought out proactively rather than waiting for you to actually search for it.
There's no question that Google still wants to "own search", but their idea of "search", in my opinion, is more about what it will become than what it is today.
