IconTags

IconTags is a library. It doesn't add anything to your screen by itself. It holds the search data that IconSeek uses to search the icon picker.

If you use IconSeek, install this too and keep both enabled.

What it knows about each icon

• The names of things that use it: items, spells, mounts, pets, achievements, skills, currencies and classes.
• What the icon shows, like sword, skull, bird or potion. All 30,456 icons in the game have been described.
• Its main colors, so icons can be sorted by color.

Some words have synonyms, so helmet also finds helm.

Light on your game

IconTags only loads when you first search. When you close the icon picker, it gives the memory back.

For addon authors

Any addon can use it, not just IconSeek. Load it with C_AddOns.LoadAddOn("IconTags") and call:

• IconTags:Search("green sword") for the matching icons and their scores
• IconTags:Filter(list, "green sword") for a picker's icons that match, best first
• IconTags:Filter(list, "sword", r, g, b) for matches sorted by a color
• IconTags:GetTags(fileID) for the words of an icon
• IconTags:GetNames(fileID, 5) for what uses an icon

The full list of functions is in the README that comes with the addon.
