## Why Use Font Icon Search?

Finding the right icon across multiple icon libraries can be tedious. Developers often switch between FontAwesome, Material Icons, Lucide, and Heroicons documentation to find the perfect icon for their project. Font Icon Search combines icons from all major libraries into one searchable interface. Our fuzzy search tolerates typos — searching 'shoping' still finds 'shopping-cart'. You can filter by library or category to narrow results, and click any icon to copy its CSS class name instantly. Whether you're building a web app, designing a UI, or prototyping, this tool helps you find and use icons faster. No more jumping between documentation sites.

## Tips for Better Icon Searches

- Use single, descriptive words like 'lock', 'chart', or 'mail' instead of full phrases for the most accurate results.
- Try synonyms when your first search returns unexpected results. For example, 'trash' and 'delete' surface different icon sets across libraries.
- Filter by a specific library first if your project already uses FontAwesome or Material Icons, so you only see compatible results.
- Compare the same concept across libraries to find the style that best matches your design system — geometric (Material), rounded (Lucide), or detailed (FontAwesome).
- Combine Font Icon Search with the SVG Path Visualizer to inspect and customize individual icon paths before embedding them in your project.
- Your input stays in the browser and is never uploaded to FindUtils. The page itself is not request-free: like the rest of the site it loads advertising and analytics scripts.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Which icon libraries are included?

Font Icon Search includes icons from FontAwesome, Material Icons, Lucide, and Heroicons — the four most popular icon libraries used in web development.

### Can I search for icons by keyword?

Yes! Each icon has multiple keywords associated with it. For example, searching 'shopping' will find cart, bag, and store icons across all libraries. The fuzzy search also tolerates minor typos.

### How do I use an icon I find?

Click on any icon card to copy its CSS class name to your clipboard. You can then paste it into your HTML or component code. Each library has its own implementation method — check the library's documentation for installation instructions.

### Does this tool require a signup?

No. Font Icon Search is available. All searches happen in your browser — no data is sent to any server.

### Can I filter icons by category?

Yes! You can filter by icon library (FontAwesome, Material, Lucide, Heroicons) and by category (Navigation, Media, Communication, etc.) to narrow down your search results.

### What is the difference between FontAwesome and Material Icons?

FontAwesome offers a large collection of icons with both and premium tiers, widely used in web projects for its broad coverage and brand icons. Material Icons follow Google's Material Design guidelines with a clean, geometric style optimized for Android and web apps. Both are included in Font Icon Search so you can compare icons side by side.

### Can I use the icons I find in commercial projects?

All four libraries included — FontAwesome (standard access), Material Icons, Lucide, and Heroicons — offer open-source licenses that allow commercial use. Always check the specific license terms for each library on their official site before production use.

### How is Lucide different from Feather Icons?

Lucide is a community-maintained fork of Feather Icons with a much larger icon set, consistent stroke widths, and active development. It retains the minimalist style of Feather while adding hundreds of new icons. Font Icon Search indexes the full Lucide library.

### Does Font Icon Search work offline?

The icon data is loaded when you first open the page, and all searching and filtering happens client-side in your browser. Once the page has loaded, you can search and copy icons without an active internet connection.

### How often is the icon database updated?

The icon index is updated periodically to include new icons from the latest releases of FontAwesome, Material Icons, Lucide, and Heroicons. Check back regularly to access newly added icons.
