Because it isn't a Web-browsing feature, in its essence.

The recommended way of finding the relevant stuff quickly in an Info
manual is by using the 'i' command.  Like so:

  i word search RET

or like so:

  i eww-search-words RET

or (if you don't know in which Info manual to look), like so:

  M-x info-apropos RET word search RET

No searching for a word on Web from Emacs is.  It definitely is NOT
"basics" of using Emacs.
