I created Flashlight, the Spotlight plugin platform this is based on. I've written a bunch of plugins for it, but I find myself using this plugin from Marc Bachman more than any of the others. It's incredibly 🆒 being able to insert emoji anywhere, just by bringing up Spotlight and searching.
Totally love this platform. Just so you know, though, the Flashlight download page is currently taking me to a Github 404 (). From the releases page on Github, it looks like there isn't a v0.96.2 yet..

Back in November, I posted Flashlight, a plugin system for Spotlight. Product Hunt liked it. Now there are a ton of plugins, and this is one of the coolest. Mark Bachman wrote a plugin to search emoji from spotlight — it's probably the fastest way to type emoji on a Mac today.
THIS IS AWESOME. 😍😍😍 Here's a working install link for Flashlight:
Seems like it adds a newline to the end of the emoji when you copy it. I wish it didn't do that. Makes it harder to do this 💃💃💃💃💃💃💃
