Description

For example see https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Search&limit=20&offset=20&profile=default&search=haslabel%3Akhw&advancedSearch-current={}&ns0=1&ns120=1, this returns a lot of items with khw alias instead of label. See also https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q13610143?action=cirrusdump.

I proposed to introduce some new keywords:

hasalias
haslabeloralias
haslabel (existing, will search labels only)
inalias
inlabeloralias
inlabel (existing, will search labels only)

Change the behavior of existing haslabel and inlabel may be considered a breaking change.

Aliases were put in the labels field for performance reasons, we need to investigated whether it's feasible or not to add an alias field (note that due to the multilingual nature of wikidata this is something we have to ponder carefully because the current strategy is to add one field per language).
