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.
