[Bf-committers] alternate naming for search

[Campbell Barton]

For really good search results we should have tags which dont need to
be displayed necessarily,
Putting aside what other apps call features, there are lots of tools
that have multiple commonly used names.
- Copy / Duplicate
- Screen shot / Screen capture / Screen cast
- Shape / Morph

but not sure if this search feature is intended to be really that
useful or more a quick way to access any tool.
