Emoji picker seems to occasionally make absurd suggestions

[ell1e]

Steps to reproduce

1. Type :wea
2. Check out what the emoji picker suggests

Outcome

What did you expect?

If I typed something that matches exactly the beginning of any emoji names, those should be the top results above others. If it matches exactly a substring of any emoji names at least, those should also sorted above any others where it doesn't.

What happened instead?

:scream_cat:? For :wear? I don't know, to me that seems a little absurd, there isn't even a w anywhere in :scream_cat: so it's neither a prefix nor substring match and yet it's at the top(??):

I just can't really imagine anyone finding that top suggestion fitting or expected.

The reason for this showing up is that the emoji is called „Weary Cat“ 🙀

Not seeing this information in the inline picker can lead to the confusion. I think this needs to be decided by design/product.

Even then, :weary: is the shorter match so I'd argue it should be at the top. If the other one was e.g. named :wearycat: then it should be 2nd, not 1st. I also think that the :...: colon like names should be higher priority for sorting the results than whatever other "speaking name" the emoji might have.

Edit: also as a side note, how about having it renamed anyway? That cat looks way more screaming than just weary, so that name seems a little surprising.
