Better Reaction Emoji Searching

The Problem

Discord's reaction search for emojis is a little simplistic, and because each reaction emoji only has one name, synonyms don't show up when they're searched for. Let's take the 💎 emoji as an example (called :gem:).

It is common to have associated that emoji with “diamond” or “jewel” but only when I got the exact correct name did it finally show up.
Other emoji searches such as the Windows 10 and Windows 11 search (Win + .) are able to handle this just fine:

A solution

For future it would be great if each emoji reaction could have synonym keywords attached which would make for easier searching. Searching for “diamond”, “jewel”, or “gem” should bring up the 💎 reaction. As a bonus, one of these synonyms should ideally be the emoji character itself - this could come in extremely handy on mobile especially, where it is often faster to use the built-in emoji keyboard as that is familiar to the user.

A similar issue was made 3 years ago (360052064353), but this one has screenshot examples and am hoping will revive the issue.
