 The `tags` property is an array of strings that describe the icon and can be used for searching.
 Validate the tags against the `icon.schema.json` to ensure they are correctly formatted and adhere to the defined structure.
-Provide tag suggestions based on the name of the icon and the use cases provided in the PR description. Use the existing tags in the repository as a reference for consistency and to avoid duplicates. Don't suggest words like: 'icon' and preferably use single words. Tags should always be in lowercase, and may also contain spaces (e.g. `magnifying glass`). The name of icon should not be included in the tags, as it is already specified.
+Provide tag suggestions based on the name of the icon and the use cases provided in the PR description. Use the existing tags in the repository as a reference for consistency and to avoid duplicates. Don't suggest words like: 'icon' and preferably use single words. Tags should always be in lowercase, and may also contain spaces (e.g. `magnifying glass`). Don't include the full icon name, its space-separated form, or any individual part of its kebab-case name because those terms are already searchable. For example, don't suggest `mail-search`, `mail search`, `mail`, or `search` for the `mail-search` icon.
