Resolve "Advanced Search" name change.

John McGuire requested to merge JohnMcGuire-master-patch-21544 into master

Closes #223745

Problem

There are many types of search used in GitLab. The terminology can be confusing making names for specific by adding more words increases the likelihood that it will be referred to in a shorter name form that would then lead to it being unspecific. The common example this MR is addressing calling "Advanced Global Search" as "Search".

This is a follow up from MR !42162 (merged)

Proposal

This MR strives to simplify the Global Search feature names.

  • The Group and Category name remain Global Search
  • The larger feature remains Global Search
  • The different modes, have been simplified to Basic and Advanced Search respectively.

There are some additional minor direction clean ups in this MR as well.

What is not being changed?

The group name global search will remain global search.
