On a site with many aliases (1000+), "list" tab is utterly useless.

What is needed instead is a "search" tab that would allow narrowing down the list by source or destination string, using a LIKE query. Any takers to help implement this?

Even with just two pages of aliases I feel the same aggravation. I expect to have several more pages of aliases, too.

While not a solution, this may lessen the grief: I used nice menus and created a cascading menu for my admin menu.

Then I created several menu items such as http://mysite.com/index.php?q=admin/path&page=1 which points to page two of the url aliases, and entries for pagea three, four, etc… Entries are structured under a single menu item so they take up just one space on the admin menu.

Now when I work on a group of aliases, I estimate the page they'll fall on and use the nice menu entry to select the desired page. Admitedly, I have a lot fewer aliases than you. You might just point to path pages five, ten, fifteen, etc.. to keep your menu reasonably small. You'd still have to do a certain amount of paging around.
