Reaction emoji search does not match against description

Summary

The reaction emoji search does not match against the description of the emoji. For example, 🙏 is named pray and described as person with folded hands in the reaction search widget, and 🙌 is named raised_hands and described as person raising both hands in celebration. For the most part, GitLab only exposes the emoji description and not the emoji name. Given that the search only matches against the name and not the description, this leads to a bad user experience.

This is likely the cause of #24640 (closed).

Steps to reproduce

Click on "Add reaction" and type in "folded" or "celebration".

Example Project

Any issue on any project.

What is the current bug behavior?

Using search terms based on the emoji description does not show the expected results.
