It sounds like you want to look at the real name module.

Can you provide the link to module, I see some problem with drupal search, whenever I make a search, I get almost the similar results regardless of what the search query was.

That is correct, the alternate name needs to come from somewhere.

Yeah, the Drupal module search for some unknown reason, defaults to 'most installed', which gives you the search results in the order from the most installed modules, to the least installed modules. If you want any kind of search that relates to the terms you searched for, you need to select 'relevancy' from the sort list.

Contact me to contract me for D7 -> D10/11 migrations.
