The thing about older browsers is that they don’t support new cryptography which is required by pretty much all modern websites. For some reason Google kept this legacy version of their Search going (probably forgot it existed) but now the only alternative are search engine frontends tailored specifically to obsolete hardware (which thankfully exist thanks to retro community).

Use http://frogfind.de/ or https://wiby.org/ to search using old browsers.
