A simple example:
/// Some struct.
#[doc(alias = "SomeAlias")]
pub struct SomeStruct;
I expect that when I search for term "alias" in the generated doc, it will show the corresponding alias, like when I search for term "struct" it shows reference to SomeStruct. Currently you will get the reference only if you type the whole alias in the search field.
Note, that if you enter "some", I would expect that only result for "SomeStruct" is appeared. In other words, the alias should be found by partial match if there is no result for the aliased thing.
