FrogFind is a unique and free search engine specially built for vintage computer systems. It has been developed by Sean with a basic motive of getting old and classic personal computers online to search and query for information.
Modern Internet is unkind to old and vintage computer systems as they cannot handle the complicated scripts like JavaScript, CSS etc. as well as the Encryption algorithms They do handle and process basic websites built in HTML adequately well.
FrogFind is a workable solution in this regard. It basically uses a custom wrapper for the search engine DuckDuckGo and converts the search results to very basic HTML code that old browsers can process. When a user clicks on any search result to access the webpages, they are processed by the PHP port of Mozilla Readability which is the main library that powers the Reader Mode of Firefox. This ensures that the results are stripped down and converted to as basic HTML as possible that is readable by the old browsers.

4. Once you click on any search result the web pages will be converted to plain basic HTML format as explained above so that they can be easily readable by the old machines.
