Should you search the light-bulb icon by tag or by name?

Search the light-bulb icon by name when you can say the object, and by tag when you only know the job it does. A name hits one family of drawings. A tag such as ui or arrow opens a wider grid you then judge at 23 px. The start page is for a first visit; search is for this exact mark.

Type the name of the light-bulb icon first. Open a tag only if that name returns a crowded or empty grid. Then keep the tile that stays clear at 23 px and whose badge matches the deck. The start page does not replace this step on a return visit.

Type the name of the light-bulb icon first. Open a tag only if that name returns a crowded or empty grid. Then keep the tile that stays clear at 23 px and whose badge matches the deck. The start page does not replace this step on a return visit.

Name first

The everyday word for the light-bulb icon is the shortest path. Search matches the localized name and the tags on the tile, so a direct word usually lands near 23 px previews of the right object.

Tag when the name fails

If the name of the light-bulb icon returns nothing, switch to the job: navigation, file, alert, or media. You will see more tiles. Discard any that fall apart at 23 px before you read licences.

Start page is not search

The start page orients a first visit. It will not rank a light-bulb icon for your deck. After that visit, type the name. A 23 px decision belongs on the search page, not on the welcome strip.

Stop on a clear tile — bulb-icon

Whether you arrived by name or by tag, stop when one light-bulb icon is readable at 23 px and the badge fits. A second synonym rarely beats that tile.

This page chooses a query for the light-bulb icon. A 23 px tile is a preview, not a promise that every synonym is tagged.

Questions

Do tags replace the name of the light-bulb icon?
No. A tag widens the grid. The name of the light-bulb icon is still the faster query when you know it. Use 23 px only as the readability check after either path.
What if several packs show the same light-bulb icon?
Compare badges, then the stroke at 23 px. Prefer the pack you already use elsewhere on the deck so the light-bulb icon matches its neighbors.
Is the popular row a substitute for naming the light-bulb icon?
Only if the light-bulb icon happens to sit there. For a specific mark at 23 px, the name in search is still the reliable path.
