It's deliberated (some really small portions of the web are searchable, like if memory serves me you can search Pastebin and some government sites, but that's it).

If people could easily find information there, there would be a lot of takedown notices, especially thanks to those EU cuck countries with "right to be forgotten" and GDP laws. If you can't search, the information is preserved.

I call preservation "preservation by obscurity".

Hell, you can literally find child porn on the wayback machine from the early 2000s (it was some geocities site that got saved). Essentially, making the site easy to search, with withe implementation of things like full text search, reverse image search, etc... would considerably expand the problems, lawsuits, and information being removed there.

Archive.org is slow enough as is, leaving aside the headaches a full searches engine would bring it’d substantially increase maintenance costs and attack surface. Its search space would be significantly larger than Googles, because it’s searching the history of the web.
