  You want to try and remember bicorne - usually I have to search through pirates
minifigs to get that %^^$%@ name. You might want to bookmark this page. It at
least gives the starting point names of some hat/headdress styles with images,
since I can never remember any of them.

LOL, I feel ya! Similar to my newly acquired "Kef*", I've remembered to type
"bi*" or "tri*" when looking for a pirate hat.

I get a little annoyed every time I encounter this piece.

It's always the same cycle, I search "turban" because it's very similar
to a turban.
and all that pops up are these;

So then I remember that the piece I'm looking for is on a few of the Prince
of Persia minifigs so I go to catalog, minifigs, prince of persia, and then scroll
until I find one with the matching headgear, and then drill down into it's
inventory to find that it's called a "Keffiyeh"

to which my response is, "oh, well, I'll probably never remember that..."

I wish the description was "Headgear Headdress Cloth Wrap Keffiyeh (Turban)"
even if it's not technically a turban. It would help me find it faster in
the future.

At any rate, taking the time to type this all out should help me remember in
the future and I discovered that one only has to type "kef*" in the headgear
search and this pops up so I should be able to remember those 3 letters at least
going forward.

Took me awhile to remember "kepi" for this part too, but I remembered eventually.
