Sorry, I'm not following. I tried "emacs", "fsf", and "w3c", and I seem to
get reasonable results. For example, here's what I see for "w3c":
[Back] [Search definition] [Matching words] [Quit]
[Select dictionary] [Select match strategy]
2 definitions found

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (30 December 2018) [foldoc]:
World Wide Web Consortium
W3C
W3 Consortium
<web, body> (W3C) The main standards body for the
web. W3C works with the global community to
establish international standards for client and server
protocols that enable on-line commerce and communications on
the Internet. It also produces reference software.
W3C was created by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology
(MIT) on 25 October 1994. Netscape Communications
Corporation was a founding member. The Consortium is run by
MIT LCS and INRIA, in collaboration with CERN where the
web originated. W3C is funded by industrial members but its
products are freely available to all. The director is Tim
Berners-Lee who invented the web at the Center
for European Particle Research (CERN).

What exactly is wrong with that? What am I missing? And how is handling of
URIs related to this?

Search how? what do you type at the prompt of "M-x eww"? And what do you
type afterwards to search for some word?
Thanks.
