Research direction

Compare the v4 Material Icons documentation with the current icons documentation, then review the discussion in pull requests 41330 and 43569. Trace how the icons documentation is exposed to Algolia search and identify why reverting virtualization did not restore searchability. Done means icon names are returned by the documentation search again.
