Hi,
I'd love to be able to find emoji by fuzzy search.

Example: thup should find "thumb up"

As you know it's always simpler to make a Feature Request than a PR, but ... maybe one day, who knows !

A related feature request would be to sort by relevance, as the results sort alphabetically I think? If anyone ever makes a fuzzy search, it's likely there's a score attached to each result that could be used as the primary sorting factor.

As shown below, the first result isn't always the one you expect.

Selection_999(371)

Ideed @mahemoff, current behavior is quite strange.
Your comment is too ;) All fuzzy search libs works the way we except it, returning exact matches first.

Here's a quick'n dirty living example: https://jsfiddle.net/f4cgx09q/1/
