docs: user count not updated correctly

Description

While I was reading the project's README.md page, I realized that under the What is this? section, there is the sentence

Over 500,000 people have benefitted from this handbook!

Upon checking the website's home page (preface), I found the heading

Fastest way to prepare effectively for your software engineering interviews, used by over 1,000,000 engineers

under the What is this section as well as the heading

Over 1,000,000 people have benefitted from this handbook!

right below it (Check the screenshots below for more clarity on this issue). Therefore, assuming that this number has already been fact-checked since it has been used twice on the website (correct me if I'm wrong), then it should be changed to the same number as well in the README.md file as well. I will follow up on this issue with a PR correcting the docs.

It is also worth mentioning that the algolia search tool on the website itself contains old information, I'm assuming that it doesn't reindex the website regularly upon making changes to the website. I think this could be fixed during deployment if we can manually turn on indexing for changed pages on the website. Could create an issue for it and work on it as needed, more on this in the screenshot below. I also thought of adding a section under the Over 1,000,000 people have benefitted from this handbook! heading mentioned earlier for people to add testimonials about how the handbook has helped them, just like the one added under the Success stories section by opening a pull request and so on. Ultimately encouraging more people to participate and showing users how helpful this handbook could be, again would be done in a separate issue.
