Description
I think it would be an exciting feature to add support for searching tokens in the Uniswap app using ENS names.
Currently, tokens can be searched by their "names" or by pasting a token address. However, token names are sourced directly from the contract, allowing anyone to assign any name. This often results in duplicate names for different tokens, creating confusion.
Integrating ENS for token searches would address this issue elegantly. ENS names are unique, with each name pointing to a single address. Additionally, ENS supports multiple address records across different chains, making it versatile and reliable.
If there’s interest in this idea, I’d be happy to assist with the implementation.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by tracing the dapp’s existing token-name and token-address search flow, then investigate how ENS names, subnames, and chain-specific address records should resolve. Done means users can search for supported ENS names or subnames and receive the corresponding token without ambiguity.
