Integration Search - Aliases / Tags

[ArmoredCavalry]

Recently ran into a situation where a certain integration (motion-blinds) works with quite a few other brands that all use the same underlying software. For my particular brand, doing a search of integrations came up with no results in the UI. Occurred to me this could be something that happens with other integrations, where they have other "white-labeled" products, or abbreviations, or re-brands.

Speaking with @starkillerOG on the motion-blinds repo, he mentioned proposing a feature for this. Perhaps an integration could specify "aliases" that show up in search, but link to the same underlying integration / documentation? Or, if not a separate entry / result, maybe integrations could at least add "tags", which will be searched on in addition to title? Then if you hover / long-press a given integration in search results, it shows the tags?

I think this could help with discoverability of integrations, and keep people inside the UI longer (without resorting to Google).

This is in progress (and not a frontend feature request).
