Improve the ability to search chat history for Asian regional languages, such as Chinese and Japanese. Telegram's chat history search function is based on words, and is suitable for languages such as English and Russian that are separated by spaces. But for languages that do not use spaces for word segmentation, you need to match the entire sentence to get the search results, which makes the search function of some languages almost unusable. I hope Telegram can improve this feature so that it can search languages that do not use spaces to separate words.
his is definitely necessary. Telegram has a very large and rapidly growing user base in East Asia, especially in China and HK. Improving search support for East Asian languages will vastly benefit not only the users, but also Telegram itself.

Please don’t send messages that don’t help others understand this issue, such as "We need it!"
You can describe how this issue affects languages not mentioned in other comments.

It’s a useful functionality in social apps, especially telegram is a cloud base apps, it will be great it having search ability.
If support fuzzy search will definitely better.
Current searching is not working for partial word, for example:
You can’t search ‘abc’ for ‘abcde’

I would like to have a client-side partial search, if the server couldn't do partial search due to heavy loaf.

In order to make the sorted resources searchable, Chinese channel managers are forced to invent the naming rule of "#something" to make it easier for people to search resources. However, the experience of using Chinese to search chat records is still terrible. please improve it. thanks a lot.

Naive substring search works in most cases.

I think that's good. Let me tell you something about Asian language: Asian languages always use a word - 2 bytes or more, in a square shape - to build sentences, and no space characters between words. In some languages (like Japanese), there's even no spaces between Asian and Western words at all! So, this feature, for me and many Asian-language-users, is important and necessary. Looking forward to seeing the feature.

Well, when searching in Telegram, I cannot find the chat history I want so I have to search it by myself! For example, I want to look up a five-character word in a channel, but when I type its first and second characters in the search bar, it doesn’t work at all.
