With the new update, Telegram's search functionality has become completely ineffective. The Telegram team aimed to reduce illegal content, but it seems to have backfired. Now, legitimate channels are being removed from search results, while spammers with artificially boosted metrics bypass these algorithms, and the AI fails to catch them. Moreover, the system designed to detect banned words is not working properly, allowing channels directly related to illegal content to slip through the filters without being banned. Meanwhile, ordinary channels that are fully compliant and transparent get flagged and disappear within 1-2 days.
