What happened?

search does not show results by alias

i think this worked in previous versions

Steps to reproduce

1. i configured a alias "toggle light / dark" for "System Actions > Toggle System Appearance" so i can search for "dark", hit ENTER and system theme switches
2. i search for "dark", does not show up

Screenshots or recording

Thanks for opening this.

A few things worth knowing up front:

Tinycast aims to stay small and focused, so it is extremely selective about new
features. Every request is read, and the ideas that truly matter are the ones taken on.
Smaller conveniences are usually closed.

Warning

Don't write code for this yet. This issue has to be labelled approved first.

1. Wait for a maintainer to add the approved label. That label is the only green light —
   a reply, a reaction or silence is not one.
2. Once it's there, open your pull request with Closes #1099 in the description.
3. A pull request whose linked issue isn't approved is closed automatically, unreviewed.

Docs-only changes (*.md, docs/, website/) skip this and need no approval.

Thanks for opening this! A maintainer will take a look soon.
