What is it called when the caps like backspace and tab only have a symbol instead of letters? Keycaps like GMK Modern Dolch only have symbols.

Icon only I assume.

I was hoping to look up a keyword and only receive keycaps that don’t have lettering, icon still brings up ones that do.

There are commonly text mods, icon mods, and icon + text mods.
Since icons appear with icon only and icon + text, you’re not always going to only find icon only in a keyword search for icons.

Icon only.

Might depend on the manufacturer, IIRC with pbtfans keycaps the icon base set is called "simple base"
