Original Abstract Submitted

Examples described herein relate to techniques for facilitating selection of stickers for inclusion in messages within the context of an interaction system. According to some examples, message content is detected and a set of candidate stickers is identified based on the message content. A search icon is dynamically replaced with a representation of respective ones of the set of candidate stickers. At a first point in time, the search icon represents a first candidate sticker of the set of candidate stickers. At a second point in time, the search icon represents a second candidate sticker of the set of candidate stickers.
