Research direction

The issue is a feature request from 2016 with no further discussion. It suggests using machine learning to improve emoji search and creating an offline version. To explore this, one could investigate the current emojilib search implementation in the codebase, evaluate potential lightweight ML models for offline use, and check if any community forks or related projects have addressed this. The lack of detailed specification means maintainer input is needed to determine the expected scope and acceptance criteria.
