It was not clear to me what you meant initially, so to save others 2min: the emoji query returns 10 results from :em, but on the screenshot there are only 5 results visible, and 5 others are not. The results should be scrollable so that the user knows which emoji is currently selected (before choosing to insert it in the message).

For instance, the 6th result from :em: is :no_smoking:, but the user does not know whether it's being selected or not.

More generally: we could have way more results, (say 100), make the results scrollable in any case, and show a number of emoji proportional to the available size on the screen. 10 is rather small on a big screen for a user trying to find new emojis, but as OP showed it can also be too many in a smaller window.
