Feature request: alternate searchable icon labels #61

A very important feature to add to the website would be alternate searchable icon labels.

  • If a user wants to find out if css.gg supports an icon they want, they will search for it
  • The search returns exact matches only and is missing icons which are a close match but with a different name

Examples of this issue

  • If someone searches for "person", 0 results show up even though "user", "profile", "boy", and "girl" exist and match what the user is looking for.
  • If someone searches for "user" only icons containing the word "user" show up. "Profile" does not even though it could represent a user.
  • If someone searches for "computer", 0 results show up, but "screen" looks like a computer and should show up.
  • If someone wants a dark mode icon, they may search "dark mode", but the "sun" and "moon" icons which can work as well don't show up. Css.gg itself uses the "sun" icon and not the "dark-mode" icon for the toggle.

Why this should be implemented

Very often, I will go to css.gg and search for an icon and I won't find any results, not because they aren't there, but because they only show up when you get the name exactly right.

Sometimes I need to make 4 or 5 searches to find an icon I'm looking for and many times I give up searching and look elsewhere.

I agree. I'm spending lot of time for searching icons.
I found the "check" icon just browsing all icons. I used to search it by "ok", "success", "done".
The same for the "close", I was looking for a "X" icon.
Now I'm searching an exclamation mark and I don't know if it doesn't exist or if it exists with a name that I'm not thinking on. It's very frustrating... 😅
