Pencil Search

The pencil-search icon represents a search tool combined with a pencil, symbolizing the act of searching or investigating while editing or creating content. This icon is often used in applications where users need to find specific information while having the capability to edit or annotate it. The pencil signifies the ability to modify or create content, while the search symbol indicates the functionality to look for information.

In software and digital tools, the pencil-search icon appears in various applications such as text editors, note-taking apps like Evernote, and integrated development environments (IDEs) like Visual Studio Code. It's also commonly seen in file managers and document viewers where users might need to search for specific text within a file.

From a UX perspective, the pencil-search icon communicates the functionality to both search and edit content seamlessly. It helps users understand that they can not only look for specific information but also modify it directly within the same interface. This dual functionality can enhance user experience by providing a streamlined workflow.

Pencil Search is one of 6,033 icons in Tabler Icons, made by Paweł Kuna and released under MIT. It is drawn on a 24 × 24 grid with a 2 stroke.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds PencilSearchIcon to components/icons/tabler-pencil-search.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.

Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed PencilSearchIcon component you paste into your project, with no package to install. Only the icons you import reach your bundle. It works in Next.js and any React app.

Yes, if your project has @tabler/icons-react: Pencil Search is `IconPencilSearch` there, used as <IconPencilSearch />. The shadcn.io MCP server answers with that import when it finds the package. Without it, copy the icon from here.

Open Get icon, then Copy as code, and pick Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid or Preact; the Code section shows each one too. Every version is one self-contained component with the SVG inside, and SVG and data URL copies are there for plain HTML and CSS.

With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Pencil Search icon, or any of 6,033 Tabler Icons icons, and install it from a prompt.

It's drawn in currentColor, so it takes the text color wherever you use it: a class like text-primary recolors it. To bake a color in, set one in Customize before you copy.

Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 24 × 24 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation, and its stroke.

Pencil Search is a line icon drawn with a stroke width of 2. Change it in Customize before you copy, or pass strokeWidth to the installed component when all of its strokes share one width.

Yes. It follows the text color, so with text-foreground (or any theme token) it changes with your light and dark themes. The icon is a vector, so it needs no separate dark asset.

Next to a visible label it's decoration: add aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip it. Standing alone, as in an icon button, give the button a name instead, like aria-label="Pencil Search", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. PencilSearchIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <PencilSearchIcon aria-hidden="true" /> works, and so do role="img" with aria-label, or a title child, when it carries meaning on its own.

Yes. Open Get icon, then Download file: SVG for code or design tools like Figma; PNG, WebP or JPEG at 512px; or an ICO favicon with 16, 32 and 48px inside. Each one uses what you set in Customize.

Yes. MIT allows commercial use; keep the license notice when you ship the icons' source files. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

No visible credit is required: MIT only asks that you keep the license notice if you ship the icons' source files. Icons installed with the shadcn CLI already start with a comment naming Tabler Icons, Paweł Kuna and the license.

Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.

Its tags are action, edit, search, find, discover and investigate. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Pencil Search in another set.

Tabler Icons draws many icons in several styles: Filled next to the default. Open the library and pick a style above the grid to see Pencil Search's siblings in it.
