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.
It has been 8 years, and still no progress on this issue. Hope telegram dev can share any thoughts or progress on this matter. Much thanks.

If the server strain is a concern: Maybe use the current searching method when the user queried a search for the first time, then show a button to do a "Deeper" search.
This way, search queries that the current search method already satisfy will still rely on the current, more resource friendly search methodology.

Top 2 upvoted issue now lol while Telegram still chooses to ignore it. Such shameful discrimination.
I like how your Twitter account teases What's App, but even What''s App has functioning searching on CJK content. I suggest your Twitter account think twice about this before making another meme on What's App. Or @durov can you show some progress on this just like your new post about Stories?

maybe it possible/worths to index and search using letter(unicode character)-based n-grams. i am not an algorithms expert, there must be many alternative algorithms.
It depends on server-side behaviour. Third-party clients always cannot index all the messages, they just do the work of showing the search result fetched from the server.

Comparing to those emoji, maybe they’re more important for our live.
