[Suggestion] Option to find bundles/sets based on provided icons

Opened this issue · 1 comments

Loving the purpose of Iconify, but from what I can tell is there no real way to find a single Icon collection based on multiple provided SVGs.

My proposal is as follows:

The user could define multiple names (i.e. branding names) in a search field and Iconify would then return a list of collections that contain those icons.
The reason behind this is simple: Consistency.

While you could use icons of different collections within your project, be it a website, app or whatever, is there no denying that not every icon has the exact same style. Some collections may have other design practices (Or worst of all: None) and not every set you may want to use would have the icons you want to use, so you either have to use multiple sets with the risk of clashing designs, or spend a lot of time finding the one set that contains all the icons you want to use.

Having this search option could help a lot in narrowing down sets to those you would like to use.

I hope this all makes sense...

This is a very good idea.

However it will be very hard to implement. I'll move this issue to API repository and will keep it open to make sure I don't forget it when I'll get to rewriting search engine.
