This lets you find a gene by searching one of its common aliases, like "p53" for the TP53 gene.
Previously, genes could only be found by searching their one canonical gene symbol. This usually works well enough! Sometimes, however, genes are queried by less standard names. These labels can be the name of the corresponding protein, like "p53" for the TP53 gene, or simply alternative common names for the gene, like "CK20" for the gene more officially known as KRT20.
Now, searching those other names returns a relevant gene. Retrieval now has higher recall.
