When I press ⊞ Win+. and start typing I get (shown is MS Teams, but same happens in other applications also):

error message when searching emoji

The Windows display language is set to English

windows language settings

I have tried restarting the laptop per this other question, but no luck: Windows 10 1809 cannot search for emoji

This happened to me also. After reading about how emojis are supported by OS, I found what was the issue in my case: searching would not work when I switched the keyboard from ENG (English) to ROU (Romanian). After pressing LEFT ALT+SHIFT (or WIN KEY + SPACE) to switch back to ENG, searching works again.

In fact, searching works on ROU keyboard as well, but I have to write the name of the emoji in Romanian: eg: thumbs up is translated as semn de aprobare
