When I try to search for things with Google, I get this
https://drive.google.com/file/d/10F-vnAElpyTDBL3AR3ysWV1QSY8n8X7a/view?usp=sharing

I have tried with a fresh brand new test profile, I have tried deleting any
and all Google cookies and I have tried restarting the browser several
times and nothing works. Google does display correctly in Internet
Explorer, just not in SeaMonkey (I have version 2.49.4 which I believe is
the latest version)

Anyone got any ideas what might be going on or how to fix it?

Jonathan, this is an old known issue with old SeaMonkey (SM) web
browser. Google needs to fix it on their end, but it doesn't look like
they will. As a workaround, you can disable SM's user agent string
option not to advertise Firefox compability as shown in my uploaded
