Back in October 2014, Bing enabled searching by emoji, but Google was unable to return any results when you used emoji characters. Now that has changed — You can now search on Google desktop or mobile using emoji characters.
Try it by searching for [🍎] or [🐵] or other characters, and Google will no longer show you that there are no results; instead, Google will show you results for the emoji character. Here are some screen shots:
It also works on mobile, as you’d expect:
Again, the key difference between how Google handles emoji searches and how Bing does it is that Google shows you a result set for the emoji character with emoji results, and Bing just shows you for the character. So when you search for 🍎 on Google, it shows you 🍎 emoji results, but Bing shows you Apples, Apple.com and so on.
