Support repo code search without setting up an indexer (#29998)
By using git's ability, end users (especially small instance users) do not need to enable the indexer, they could also benefit from the code searching feature. Fix #29996 ![image](https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/assets/2114189/11b7e458-88a4-480d-b4d7-72ee59406dd1) ![image](https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/assets/2114189/0fe777d5-c95c-4288-a818-0427680805b6) --------- Co-authored-by: silverwind <me@silverwind.io>

# Repository indexer
+## Builtin repository code search without indexer
+
+Users could do repository-level code search without setting up a repository indexer.
+The builtin code search is based on the `git grep` command, which is fast and efficient for small repositories.
+Better code search support could be achieved by setting up the repository indexer.
+
## Setting up the repository indexer
Gitea can search through the files of the repositories by enabling this function in your [`app.ini`](administration/config-cheat-sheet.md):
