I wonder how discovery and search work if it’s just a bunch of linked documents? Do search engines exist outside of Gemini and link into it?

There are several search engines of Geminispace, running as Gemini servers. There are also a number of feed aggregators that are widely used.
Also, part of the idea is discovery through linked high-quality sites. Like the webrings of the 1990s.
You find a capsule you like and discover others through that person's links.
The protocol supports query strings so the server can generate content based on the string, which can be used for an in-Gemini Gemini search engine. It doesn't have to be all static content. People could also build out a directory (like the now defunct DMOZ and similar directories for the Web).
