Sorry I don't know what the  'Relate To..' search does, but maybe they are specifying the field name which would then override the default behaviour which is to use search artist, sortname and alias.

> Examples... 
> Normal indexed search for "John McGeogh" correctly gives 100 score for "John McGeoch"
> http://musicbrainz.org/search?query=John+McGeogh&type=artist
> http://musicbrainz.org/artist/482abb8f-ef8f-4d20-a1b1-84033cf559d7/aliases
> And for "Alan Dias", "Allan Dias".
> http://musicbrainz.org/search?query=Alan+Dias&type=artist
> http://musicbrainz.org/artist/ddcb075c-d23e-446b-ace8-3f914ffb10da/aliases
> However, trying to use the aliases in a "Relate To..." indexed search, such as from a work, doesn't show the artist (at least in the first few pages). Direct searches do work.
