Trouble finding internship as freshman

I'm a freshman. I've heard that search funds are the easiest internships to land freshman year but I'm having trouble finding actual search funds to apply to.

I've already applied to all the postings listed on Google Jobs (there were very few, like 4-5) and some search funds my LinkedIn connections interned at their freshman year. I don't know how else to find search funds other than just typing "search fund" into Google. I haven't even been able to find and apply to more than 10 yet.

Is there a website or list of search funds in operation? This might sound like a stupid question but I'm genuinely having trouble with this so any help would be much appreciated.
