Rationale
Currently, when using the Search box you have to be aware of two things:

- the correct "Blender" name of a tool/function
- whether the desired tool/function can be accessed via the Search box

Similar tools and functions have different names from one app to another, and sometimes the names of things change from one version of an app to the next. For example, in Blender OSA is now Anti-Aliasing, and Center is now Origin.

It'd be nice to be able to search within an operator's description yeah, and having alternate name could be useful too for people that are used to other applications, but other than that I'm happy with it.

Also, all operators can be found with the search menu as far as I'm aware, even if the operator doesn't have a button anywhere it's still registered and thus can be found by a search.
