Feature Request: Expanded Fuzzy Search #157

Closed nnnnicholas closed 2 years ago

nnnnicholas commented 2 years ago

Please consider expanding the number of terms by which a given emoji is indexed.

For instance, "galaxy", "universe", and "sky" do not pull up 🌌 at present.

As an aside, on iOS/Mac, the native emoji selector searches a dictionary based on what language the keyboard is currently set to. Perhaps useful inspiration if you intend to support multilanguage lookup but don't want an single dictionary.

I've taken a proper dive into the code and found the keyword index. I will perhaps add some keywords and make a pull request.

Lots of code here. Thanks for putting in the work.
