Because it's not a generic any more. I've said this at least twice already, but a generic is something that is declared with the word "generic", and Search_Generic is no longer declared with the word "generic". Now that Array_Generics is a generic and the procedures are not generic, you can instantiate Array_Generics but you cannot instantiate the procedures.
