Suggestion: emoji picker search improvement

Today I was trying to find the emoji (officially called party popper, but shorted to ) and muscle memory (with MacOS) has me trained to expect finding it by searching for party: [image] However, Discourse’s emoji picker doesn’t find it for the same search term, even if it is part of the emoji name. [Screenshot 2021-08-16 at 11.28.20] Perhaps the emojis official names could be an alias to each emoji (when they differ from the short version) to improve search on the emoji picker? …

We will be prioritizing this and get to it in the next release.
