[BUG] Dev tools console autocomplete doesn't work well with aliases

[BSFishy]

Describe the bug

The console autocomplete doesn't work well with aliases. For example, if I have an alias called alias to a index called index, if I try to type in requests related to the alias alias, I won't get very much autocomplete. For example, if I start typing in GET alias, I won't get auto-completion on alias. Further, if I try creating a search request on that alias, I won't get auto-completion on field names.

To Reproduce

1. Create an index and populate it with data

2. Create an alias pointing to the index

3. Go to dev tools console

4. Type in GET [alias name]/_search and notice you don't get auto-completion on the alias name

5. Start writing in a search query. I used:

   {
     "query": {
       "term": {
         "": {
           "value": "VALUE"
         }
       }
     }
   }

   Notice in the empty string you don't get auto-completion on field names.

6. Now try steps 4-5 with the index instead of the alias and notice auto-completion works as expected.

Expected behavior

I would expect autocomplete to work the same as if I were using an index rather than alias.
