Pull Request Overview
This PR adds an optional "noindex" parameter in page front matter to block Google indexing, and updates both the theme's head template and documentation accordingly.
- Introduces a new variable in head.html to control the robots meta tag based on the "noindex" parameter.
- Updates the documentation in configuration.md to explain how to use the parameter, and renames the "Search Index" heading to "FlexSearch Index" for clarity.

This param completely blocks a page or directory from being indexed on Google. Useful for avoiding indexing duplicate content or any other page that shouldn't appear in search results.
head.htmlfor optionalnoindexparam, make default valuefalseconfiguration.md. I also modified the Flexsearch section to be explicit about what "search index" means on different parts of the page.
