TL;DR

You should be able to add icons in search bars more easily

What?

Currently there is no way to add icons into search bars directly. This could be changed so that it works the same as when naming things, by just adding this option.

Why?

When using an icon in a search bar, it is tedious. The best way I have found is to find text with an icon, copy it, and paste it into the search bar.
I wold personally find this useful as I use icons for classification of train stops, making searching through them difficult. This would also just be generally useful though.
