Replace icons with text tags that can be searched

The icons for "Multi-view Images", "Volumetric", etc are cute, but it is (1) impossible to use them for searching, and (2) hard to remember what they mean. Maybe use text keywords (tags) instead?

Thanks for the feedback. The icon is searchable if you copy and paste it to the search bar. As far as the icons, they are intentionally chosen with the following reasons:

📷 for "Multi-view Images" because it's about "camera images" 👾 for "Volumetric" because the alien is made of cubes, or voxels 🎲 for "Point Cloud" because the die has "points" on it 💎 for "Polygonal Mesh" because the diamond is made of triangles 💊 for “Primitive-based" because the capsule is similar to a cylinder, which is one of the most common types of primitive shape.

Does this help make the icons more intuitive?

Copy-pasting the symbols does not actually work on Linux chrome{e,ium}. For example, for the camera icon it copies "camera" into the clipboard.
