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.
