Andy,
I know we have an alias parameter...but...
Do you want to set that alias on 24,000 Universities ? I don't. But perhaps a simple backend script could do it...sure.
My point is to all, that having a wiser Wikidata Search seems like a logical approach, and it doesn't change or skew the intent or meaning of the data as the rest of you have raised that concern. Its just a smarter Search, that is more helpful to folks finding entities and properties.

and vice versa.
This is what the "alias" parameter is for.
