search_icons
Search for icons using the Icons8 API - the ONLY source for genuine Icons8 icons.
Use English terms and consider Icon8's metaphors for better results.
SEARCH TIPS - Use these general approaches for better matches:
• Use simple, descriptive terms (e.g., "home", "user", "settings")
• Try action words for functions (e.g., "search", "download", "edit")
• Use object names for items (e.g., "phone", "computer", "car")
• Consider synonyms if first search doesn't work
• Think about what the icon represents conceptually
• Use single words or short phrases for best results
