Search for messages containing specific keywords across multiple Telegram chats
Stop scrolling endlessly. Just tell your Telegram bot what you need and get any message from any group or channel, instantly.
Sifting through countless Telegram chats, groups, or channels every time you need to find messages containing specific words is not just tedious—it’s a major productivity drain. Each manual search costs you focus and minutes that add up fast, especially if you manage multiple communities or need to quickly surface critical updates across diverse conversations. Letting that time slip away means you risk missing out on urgent topics, losing track of important discussions, or delaying your response, which can impact both your reputation and bottom line.
This Botize formula puts message discovery on autopilot by letting you trigger a Telegram bot with a simple /search command plus your keywords. Instantly, it scours all the chats, groups, or channels you’ve specified—public or private—compiling relevant messages and sending them right back to you inside Telegram. No more combing through endless threads! You save time, gain instant visibility into what matters, and never let critical info slip through the cracks, all while maintaining full control: customize which chats to search and how often to run the process.

Community Moderation
As a Telegram group admin, you want to check if anyone discussed ‘refund policy’ in the last month. Ping the bot, and it grabs every relevant message—no matter if it’s in your group or a private channel.
⌾︎ You manage multiple projects or communities and need to track shared knowledge fast.
⌾︎ You’ve ever thought ‘Where did I see that info?!’ and don’t want to scroll for ages.
✕ You only use Telegram to chat with your mom or send cat gifs.
✕ You love wasting time searching for messages the old, painful way.
✓ Select the specific chat IDs you want the bot to search (public or private).
✓ Set the search interval, so your bot can stay ready 24/7 or only when needed.
✓ Personalize the bot’s reply style (bold, plain, with links, etc) to fit your workflow.
This automation uses a Telegram bot that is triggered when it receives the /search command followed by one or more keywords. It then searches for those words across a list of public or private chat IDs and replies on Telegram with the matching messages. To perform the search, the task uses a Telegram user account (since bots cannot search inside chats). The user must specify the chat IDs where the search should be performed.
