Created attachment 135669 [details] Screenshot SUMMARY What is the source for emoji names? Is it possible to have synonyms for them? The issue with unexpected emoji names appears in other applications, and is non-trivial - https://github.com/vector-im/element-web/issues/13857. As an example, STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Ctrl+F for "explo" OBSERVED RESULT The "explosion"-looking emoji found is one of a small animal with its head exploding (called "astonished" in other emoji pickers) EXPECTED RESULT The emoji that appears when typing "boom". (Side issue: when typing "boom", the emoji selected by default is one with a missing character, even though I do have the Noto Color Emoji font installed)
The source is: ibus/dicts/emoji-en.dict (with relevant localisation) Emojis can have multiple annotations and we search all annotations when filtering. I don't think there's anything missing our side. Please reopen if there is.
Thanks. As an end user, can I file an issue somewhere upstream? My goal is to be able to find emojis when searching by synonyms. For example, right now "explosion" doesn't find the 💥 emoji.
I can't possibly find the trashcan emoji. I've searched for "rubbish" and "garbage" and "refuse" and "delete" - nothing.
FWIW it's called "wastebasket." I do agree that a lot of these names are a bit odd. Not sure where exactly they come from though. But yeah, following up there to request more synonyms would be good.
I could follow up... where do the names come from?
Perhaps this is relevant? http://cldr.unicode.org/translation/characters-emoji-symbols/short-names-and-keywords
