# Emoji Search

> Search, browse, and copy emojis by name, keyword, or category.

## What does this tool do?

Emoji Search helps you quickly find and copy commonly used emojis. You can search by name, keyword, or shortcode, filter by category, preview emoji details, and reuse your recently copied emojis.

## What inputs does it accept?

- **Search query** — text like "heart", "rocket", "laugh", or shortcode fragments.
- **Category filter** — browse all emojis or a specific category such as Smileys, Food, or Flags.

## What does it output?

- **Filtered emoji grid** — matching emojis you can copy in one click.
- **Emoji detail panel** — selected emoji name, shortcode, and Unicode code point.

## How does it work?

The tool loads a curated emoji dataset and applies a simple includes-based filter across name, keywords, and shortcode. Clicking an emoji copies it to the clipboard and saves it to a recent list in local storage.

## Examples

**Example 1:**
- Input: Search query "fire"
- Output: 🔥 Fire appears in results and can be copied instantly.
