I like the Noun Project, and I think it's cool, but I doubt its utility at the moment. For example, they have an icon for 'Kiwi', but none for 'Save'?

Edit: They DO have several for 'Upload' and several different ones for 'Download'.

I think 'Save' is just infinitely harder to visualize than 'Download'. There is precisely one meaning of 'Download' (moving data over the internet onto a device). I could go on and on about how many different meanings 'Save' has (remember how kids these days don't know what that 'floppy' icon even means?).

Perhaps they need to add alternate-keywords so if you search for a word but other word is more commonly used to describe a similar action? :)
