Describe the issue

I wanted to add the UI widget commonly called a slider to my web page, but when I searched the Bootstrap documentation for "slider" all I got was results about the carousel component. Searching Google for "Bootstrap slider", the first results were about the carousel component, followed by a link to a third-party slider implementation for old versions of Bootstrap. It took some further searching to discover that Bootstrap 5 does have a built-in slider feature but calls it a "range". You seem to be aware that this type of control is generally called a slider, since there are three Bootstrap icons of sliders.

It might help the discoverability of the "range" control if it were findable using the term "slider".
