But when I tried searching an empty bitcoin wallet on the site, it just gave me an error. I would have wanted it to show me a wallet with 0 balance, maybe even show the qr code for easier input into mobile.
for reference here is the working link on blockchair, and the non-working link on 3xpl.
Good comment, now I remember our discussion about it, when we added it to our list. for reference here is the working link on blockchair, and the non-working link on 3xpl.
You are right because it only shows addresses containing a blance, what cygan also confirmed. After our discussion, I've also added a comment in our table indicating that it's only showing addresses containing a balance:
I've collected some of the most famous Bitcoin block explorers including a column for supported features like displaying native SegWit bech32-addresses or giving the possibility to identify an outgoing transaction from nested SegWit P2SH addresses. Finally, I've rated them from my side how useful each block explorer is. The rating is better the more detailed the explorer is.

Anyone have any ideas why this happens for empty wallets? Anything with a balance shows up correctly.
I don't know but maybe a coder will leave a comment here in case he knows about it.
