Today it's not possible to enable alias searching. Patches welcome.
If you create one, please use some format that makes it possible to add searching on other fields as well, such as "alias~<regex>" or some such.

Tru dat. Patches welcome. You'll want to find and remove the correct "break" statement, I guess. Other than that it shouldn't be much trouble.
