Created attachment 178515 [details] Emoji Selector SUMMARY The search tab is a fast way to find an emoji as it shows all icons, which is good because so see all your options, but also the issue of my feature request. My suggestion is that you can create a filter list where you can collect icons that should not be displayed. The goal is to speed up and make it easier to find the icons I actually look for (and of which you may not know the name). One example would be the section of emoji icons that also exist with the same expression, but with different skin colours and/or genders. If I want to insert the shrugging person (🤷) there are 17 other emoji icons that look the same but that you may do not want to select or use, thus doing nothing but using up UI space and making scroll distances longer.

I'm not sure this is a good idea, sorry. People would add things to the blacklist, forgot they did that, and then get confused when they later looked for it and couldn't find it.
