I recently discovered that you can use the Library pane in Xcode to search for SF Symbols directly. Just open the Library (⇧⌘L) then click the star icon to show the Symbols Library.
Then type the name or keyword of the symbol you're looking for. It's a super quick way to browse and insert SF Symbols into your SwiftUI views.
What makes this even better is that you can search for symbols by tag instead of just by name. For example, you can search for "food" to find all the food-related symbols.
