Telegram has recently rolled out the Public Post Search feature, and from this update, we see potential for further SEO efforts. Below are some key details uncovered by OnlyTG regarding this latest update:
How to Use It
Click on “Search”, pull the text bar at the top, select “Posts”, enter your search keywords, and then click the “Search” button.

Available Only to Telegram Premium
Currently, this feature is exclusively available to Premium users. Regular users will only see Premium-related advertisements when clicking “Search Post”.
Premium Users Also Have a Limit
Each Premium user has a daily limit of only 10 free searches. The good news is that re-searching a keyword you’ve already looked up won’t consume your daily quota.
10 Stars per Search When Exceeding the Limit
Once you go over the daily limit, each subsequent search will cost 10 Stars.

Subscriber and View Count Aren’t Key Factors for Index
Based on OnlyTG’s observations, the criteria for appearing in search results are not yet clear. However, it’s certain that they aren’t solely related to a channel’s subscriber count or the number of views a single post gets. In our multiple searches, many results showed posts with only double-digit views or subscriber counts. For this reason, we believe there’s significant room for SEO in the current Public Post Search. You can post content related to specific keywords in your Public Channel, and it might be easily indexed in the search results.
Besides, if you’re just an ordinary user, this update is still highly helpful. It enables you to better search for public content on Telegram—just remember to use it legally!
