Shouldn't the docs mention pip search is deprecated on PyPi? #12059

Description

@JamesParrott

What's the problem this feature will solve?

pip search has been deprecated on PyPi, but the docs for pip search don't mention anything about this

readable docs: https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/cli/pip_search/
source for docs: https://github.com/pypa/pip/blob/main/docs/html/cli/pip_search.rst

Describe the solution you'd like

The documentation to mention that pip search now requires a custom repository

Alternative Solutions

Any alternative solution than simply adding a line to the docs is way more work, and unneccessary.
