The issue has been solved
Some emoji's just aren't findable with the 3rd party service. For instance https://github.com/sindresorhus/alfred-emoj/issues/14. What would it take to enhance the results?
Could we bundle a local db to add emoji that are hard to find or just aren't in the 3rd party service?

We could include results from the local DB in case of exact match. Could use https://github.com/muan/emojilib for this.
Pull request welcome if anyone wants to work on this :)

I like the idea. Nice find on the package. I'll create a pull request as dibs when I get motivated to add emojilib.

Hmm, it seems that ever since March 2019 this issue was solved via two PR's:
So I guess @sindresorhus now just must pick one and merge it to close this issue?
