the emoji picker has a bug: keywords take precedence over the actual name of the emoji (hexbear.net)

example: selecting "kelly" is a needless chore, because you have to sift through a bunch of kelly emojis to find the one named kelly. similar things happen with "slammer" and several others.

the canonical name of an emoji should always have precedence over keywords in the picker

I know this is a convenience thing not a discoverability thing but the emoji mart (click on the little smiley above the comment/post text box) has better search

but also yeah, this is annoying and an unforeseen consequence of keywords
