Feature request: searchable emojis

AI 生成的摘要

The discussion revolves around a feature request for searchable emojis, inspired by Slack’s functionality. orangepeel initiates the topic, noting Slack’s ability to search emojis by name. codinghorror points out the limitation that only exact word matches work. sam mentions that some emojis like :blush: auto-complete. orangepeel expresses surprise and appreciation for this feature, confirming it’s similar in Slack but also highlights the presence of a search bar in Slack’s emoji menu. erlend_sh confirms this and provides a visual example. gerhard agrees, stating it would be a great plugin, emphasizing it’s more suited for plugin development.

One beautiful feature in Slack is the ability to type the name of an emoji rather than flip through page after page scanning each row of icons. That would be wonderful on Discourse too!

Maybe, assuming your word matches the word of the emoji. You can already match on name by typing colon then some letters, so this already exists…

Oh man, I did not realize you could do that! Thanks for showing me that. It is the same in Slack, but there is also a search bar in the emoji menu. :discourse:

Right, like this:

This is very much PR/plugin territory though.

I agree. Would be an awesome plugin. Like I said here:
