How to search icons with Iconbuddy

Follow this process to choose consistent icons across libraries.

  1. Start with function-based keywords: Search by intent such as settings, upload, analytics, or user to find relevant candidates quickly.
  2. Filter by library style: Narrow to Remix, Simple Icons, Lucide, or other families that align with your interface language.
  3. Compare similar options: Review stroke, weight, and readability before selecting final icons.
  4. Document selected icons: Record icon names and sources in your design system notes for consistent reuse.

Tips for better icon discovery

These practices help teams make icon decisions that stay consistent over time.

  1. Prioritize semantic clarity: Choose icons that communicate intent clearly and avoid ambiguous metaphors.
  2. Keep visual style unified: Use one primary icon family for core UI and limit mixed styles to special cases.
  3. Validate at production size: Check selected icons at real component sizes to ensure legibility.
  4. Support accessibility: Use meaningful labels and avoid icon-only controls for critical actions.
