Binoculars are more appropriate because they can be used to look around
whereas a magnifying glass cannot.

The magnifying glass was a particularly poor choice by Apple[1],  
because icons featuring one usually represent zooming (in).  
Binoculars are (for some reason) more common as symbols for searches.  
Eyes and spectacles OTOH most often represent visibility.
