Missing apps?

[AB__CD]

So my uncle bought a Xiaomi Mi 3 in Indonesia a few years ago, and he used it for about two years. Recently, he bought a Redmi Note 3 Pro to replace it, and I helped him factory reset from the recovery menu. He took the device home, and is now saying that theres NO internet apps at all: no Google Search, no Mi Browser, no Chrome. And the search widget doesnt work, and neither does the Google Settings app, which is about the only google app, as the Play Store and the rest are missing. What's happened?

factory resetting the miui v5 global rom via recovery deletes all the google related apps.
Download Google Installer App to install all google apps including playstore. Follow the below link to get the "Google Installer App" with the instructions to use it.

Oh ok, thanks. And P.s. he uses MIUI 5 because before resetting, he had no storage space to install MIUI 7.
