Use Cases

When I head over to that page, I pretty much always want icons (bundled SVGs) and not emojis. Emojis coming up in the results only slow down my search. It would be nice if I can filter out just icons, and for those who only look for emojis.

Thanks for suggesting. We're likely going to integrate emoji and icon search directly into the new search as a further data source, so this will be tackled once we got a stable working version of the new search. As a temporary mitigation, if you know what iconset you want to use you can prefix your search with material, octicons, simple or fontawesome:

I've added a select field to narrow the search to icons or emojis in aef6175. It's already live:

It's not a perfect solution, it's more like a bandaid, as we're thinking of moving the icon and emoji search into the search box anyways, given that we're currently revising the search implementation (#6307). In the meantime, this should do.
