Aliases for process search #1910

Description

@edumeneses

Search for processes in Score works very well, but I suggest an ease-of-life improvement: creating aliases to facilitate search.

I can give two practical examples:

  1. Searching with the word "array" gives all processes with array in the name. It turns out that Combine Inlets is also an array operation (combining multiple inlets in an output array following the inlet order). This process, however, does not show in a search with the term "array".
  2. Chroma Key is also known as "color to alpha" on most image editing software. I ended up reimplementing Chroma_Key (🤦🏾) as my search with the words "color" and "alpha" didn´t return me the process I wanted.

Rather than try to find the "best" name for a process, they could have multiple aliases (tags) indexed on process search.
