Description

Hi, thank you for this package! I'm not sure how other people use this package, but for me, it is quite painful to search the name of the icon on each separate website.

For example, if I want to add a small hammer icon while not sure what kind/name of icons does each source has. I will have to open multiple websites and search on fontawesome -> google material -> octicons ......

Is it possible to add a Rstudio Addin that allows fuzzily search all the installed icons, with preview?

Here is an example of Alfred workflow which could search fontawesome icons https://github.com/ruedap/alfred-font-awesome-workflow

I couldn't find any website/tool that allows me to search multiple icon databases all together though

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the existing icons package to understand how icon sets are listed and accessed. Then implement an RStudio addin that uses a fuzzy search library (e.g., fuse.js) to search across all icons and display a preview.
