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.
they are grouped by space in a list , if first char of word doesn't match then skip the whole word , (in a 8 char word , this will save comparing 7 chars , the grouping has been done previously so little added effort)
that seems ok for pv , or searching in one chat. but Telegram searches globally in all channels and groups and PVs , some channels have thousands of posts , some large groups have +50k messages each day (i have member of a few of them myself) , that will take GBs to data to download and store . and hours waiting for download , storage problem ,,,,therefore telegram process searches in server side and has to minimize processing power requirements
Ok, mb it's work precisely like you wrote. Then it seems to me that there is should be option to search locally on device (with storing messages there, for private chats it's less then few images weight) if you want to. It would cover 99% of inconveniences.
I swear to God, I have a Japanese girlfriend and trying to find something she said in Japanese is really hassling to me. Then I end up finding the nearest English message only to find it...
