> Today I was trying to find the tada emoji (officially called [party popper](https://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/1f389/index.htm), but shorted to tada) 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. 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.
