Docs search improvement

[reynaldichernando]

Currently our search feature in docs uses basic text matching. While this works, it has downsides such as it can't match similar word, and also handle some level of typos

ideally the search would be something like this:

• supports fuzzy search, we can simply use a library like pagefind, or similar for this (whichever works best)
• still maintain our text fragment matching, this is unique to puter docs
  • with fragment matching it allows user to jump to the actual text they are searching, greatly improving UX
  • example: https://docs.puter.com/Hosting/#:~:text=over-,hosting%20infrastructure.,-Features
• if it's not an exact match (fuzzy) we still want the search result to jump somewhere, and the way it's done is to jump to the nearest subheading

Thanks @reynaldichernando!
I’ve submitted a PR that addresses this with fuzzy search while preserving text-fragment navigation.
Happy to make any adjustments if needed.
