I had the same problem, and the suggestion above was the key: ignore emojis only when the query has none, with no extra option. I created **Emoji Insensitive Search** with AI assistance to do exactly that in the native Quick Switcher and `[[` suggestions: for example, `atlas` now puts **🌍 Atlas** ahead of **Atlas Headrest**. If you type an emoji, search works as before.
