Description

When using only an Emoji as the label title, one is unable to add it to multiple tasks. Instead it will be created "as a new label" for each task.
As soon as the title also consists more common characters, one is able to find the label again

Steps to reproduce

  • create a task
  • add a label "🐱" as a new label
  • go to another task
  • attempt to add the same label to this task

I'd expect to be able to find the existing labels when searching for them by the emoji-character.
Ideally I'd even find them by searching for the name of the emoji, however thats more of a feature on top

Vikunja Version

v0.24.1

Browser and version

n/a

Can you reproduce the bug on the Vikunja demo site?

Yes

Screenshots

No response

Seems to be an issue in the search library we're using: https://github.com/nextapps-de/flexsearch/issues/166
