We had functional search on web sites in 2003 (arguably even better than today), so someone must have broken it after it had been implemented.

No idea, but it looks like a routing issue, it doesn't even hit the search engine. They've probably disabled all dynamic (PHP) code.
Fortunately Google search still works well:
