Description
### Where should the content be added?
The search bar
### What should be added?
I feel like the search functionality got degraded for my use cases when "angolia search" got introduced a few months back.
I figured I would wait before just saying "doesn't work" but i'm providing a screencast of my experience with the docs page searching for "grayskull"
which @jakirkham has been kind enough to suggest in a few feedstocks we maintain:
https://github.com/conda-forge/scikit-image-feedstock/issues/113
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/08fb0799-951f-4f52-9ab7-6a54a5d7c2c7
the screencast shows that blog posts are easily found, and meeting notes, however the document that John wanted me to read is nowhere to be found in that search
https://conda-forge.org/docs/maintainer/conda_forge_yml/#bot
Perhaps there is a way to expand what angolia searches through? perhaps it simply wasn't searching through things in codeblocks??
Is there a way to get "paginated search results" beyond those that showup in that tiny window?
### Additional information

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the docs site's search bar and the Algolia-backed search behavior described in the screencast. Compare results for "grayskull" with the maintainer documentation page and determine whether code blocks are indexed. Done should define the desired searchable content and whether additional or paginated results are required.
