My algorithm is smarter than I implied in my earlier post. Where the token in a symbol name is made up of multiple words I treat them as separate tokens. "poweroutlet" is two tokens.
I match search tokens in any order against prefixes of any tokens in the symbol names. For example, a search for "sq outlet f" matches all the filled square power outlets but also "poweroutlet.type.f.square" as it has

Xcode has had a way to search #sfsymbols for a while now. It's one of the tabs in the Library (access from the + in the top right or cmd-shift-L).
It has a *very* loose matching algorithm based on simple string containment. I think this makes it hard to use.
Not only does it match on the symbol name, it matches on semantic tags. If I search for "z" I get lots of matches, including "poweroutlet.typ
