Wish Search function for "FontAwesome & Material Icons fonts"

[fredo]

The new icon set feature is a real timesaver and is easy to handle so far.

However, if a special icon is needed, it takes a lot of time to find it in the huge lists by just browsing through thousands of icons.

Spoiler: One possible way...

In order to get a quick result it is possible to find the unicode for chr(..) via the search function of the fontawesome-page.

It would help a lot if the Icon Picker had a Search function just like [Ctl]+[f].

Yes, it will be very useful but I don't know which is the complexity to integrate in IDE code.
Another option is coding as an app helper with B4J and Sqlite as DB (an icon present on Windows Notification area that let you copy and paste the font Unicode to B4X code)

Similar to what @fredo mentioned for FontAwesome: for Material Icons, I found this one: https://material.io/icons/ ; at the top of the page there's a Search field where you can enter text. When you click an icon, click 'ICON FONT' at the right of the bar that comes up at the bottom of the page, and the hex code will show up.

I use http://materialdesignicons.com for most of the icons I need, and having a search there makes everything much easier.

Would love to have a search function for these icons inside B4A.
