* Update technical-overview.md update links for search and techdocs

There is a README.md file in each of these code directories (search and techdocs) but the online documentation displays the README file as index.html file for each of these features. So I replaced the links to the following:
https://backstage.io/docs/features/search/
https://backstage.io/docs/features/techdocs/
