Abdur-Rahman Mansoor 5c52eddd34 style: fix typos and use american spelling convention in some areas (#647)
You'll notice that asides from some typo fixes, "organisation" has been changed to "organization" to ensure a more consistent style guide, adapted to Codeberg's style: https://docs.codeberg.org/improving-documentation/style-guide/

Also changed "orgs" to "organizations" as it's more professional and easier to understand.

Forgejo supports code search through an indexer and `git-grep` as a fallback when [`REPO_INDEXER_ENABLED`](../../admin/config-cheat-sheet#indexer-indexer) is disabled.
# Basic (git-grep)
If `REPO_INDEXER_ENABLED` is set to `false`, the code search function will be limited to a single repository and will use [`git-grep`](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-grep).
Currently, only fixed strings are supported and any case differences are ignored. The search results will include the matched line, along with a single line before and after the match.
Since, the searches are performed in the fly they may be performed on any valid branch or tag.
# Indexer
For advanced search queries and searching across an entire organization or instance, `REPO_INDEXER_ENABLED: true` enables code search via bleve/elasticsearch.
However, search results are limited to the HEAD of the repository.
