It is impossible to search for messages posted in chats by masqueraded channels #25105
Comments
using forks of the destkop client such as 64gram , one can filter chat search results by channels, using the dedicated "( i ) Msgs from User" option in right click menu. Since this issue affects all clients, it is by design and should probably be reported to telegram's issue tracker here https://bugs.telegram.org . |
It is possible in telegram chats to search for messages, and to filter those search results by a specific user.
However, if a user is posting as a channel, it is impossible to use that search filter, as channels are excluded from the list of possible targets when filtering by user.
I would like to request that search-by-member be expanded to support searching by channel entities, and in this case it should present messages posted as that specific channel (excluding the user's main account and any other channels they might post as).
It is important to have this feature from a chat administrative perspective, as without it, it can be difficult to find messages posted as a channel in anything but the recent past. It is also a nuisance to ordinary users who interact with masquerading channels and wish to review their conversation history.
