What Is Emoji Search?
An emoji search tool lets you find the exact emoji you need by searching with keywords rather than scrolling through hundreds of tiny icons. The Unicode standard includes over 3,600 emoji, organised into categories that are not always intuitive — the thinking face is in "Smileys", but the magnifying glass is in "Objects" and the checkmark is in "Symbols".
This tool searches emoji by name, keyword and related terms. Search for "happy" and you get 😊 😃 😄 🥳. Search for "food" and you get every food emoji. It is faster and more accurate than the built-in emoji keyboard on most devices.
