Content-based (or tag-based) search for icons

Sometimes an automatically selected app icon from an icon pack doesn't match well. When I then try to find a new better-fitting icon, I often scroll through the entire list of existing icons because there is also no fitting category icon. This process is very tedious as the search only matches the name of the app.

Best example: In the “Outlines” icon pack the icon for “Sony” is a pair of headphones. If I wish to use a headphones icon for e.g. the Shokz app, then I cannot find any icon if I search for “headphones”, yet the icon clearly exists.

I know this comes with some work to make this work, but the custom icons are one of the main reasons Niagara looks so damn beatiful! So please, make this feature even more useful by improving the icon search.

My wish: Show icons in the search also via keyword-matching like showing the “Dating” symbol also when searching for “heart”, the “Icon packs” symbol when searching for “box”, the “Home” symbol when searching for “house”, etc. You get the idea.
