Smalyshev added a comment.

I'd avoid search and find and others like these, as most people would think it's natural language search or something like it (like Google) and not a structured query engine. I agree though that the word "query" might be difficult to get for a person whose primary language is not English. The challenge would be to find an alias that is:

  1. Short (you don't want to type 15-letter word each time)
  2. Does not mislead people about what the engine does
  3. Is easy to pronounce and spell (English is not always excellent in this regard, to say the least)
  4. May sound familiar to speakers of other languages with common ancestry with English

data.wikidata.org doesn't sound too bad, also q.wikidata.org, but more suggestions and bikeshedding are welcome :)
