Powershell -like filter

I am running command alias | where Name -like "*invoke*" but it does not return anything. Why this happens?

When I run different command alias | where Name -like "*tee*" it will return result just fine.

Is this some problem with how -like expression is built?

Use Definition property instead of Name. Name property contains only alias name. For example in the case of Format-Table, Name property contains only ft

alias | where Definition -like '*invoke*'
