Telegram Channel Search: Find Posts by Keyword

Search public Telegram channels for any keywords in one run: many channels times many keywords. Every matching post comes with a snippet around the keyword, date, views, reactions, media type, hashtags, forwards and link, plus the channel's title and subscriber count. No login, no Telegram account.

What you can use it for

• Brand and crypto monitoring: find every mention of a brand, token or project across the channels you follow.
• News and OSINT research: search a list of news or community channels for a topic.
• Marketing: find channels and posts that talk about your niche before buying ads.
• Content curation: collect posts about a topic from many channels at once.

FAQ

Which input formats work? Channels can be durov, @durov, t.me/durov, t.me/s/durov or a post link like https://t.me/durov/123, and links pasted with backticks, quotes or markdown are cleaned up; if you leave Channels empty, channel links typed under Keywords are used as channels. Inputs written for other Telegram search tools also work: maxResultsPerKeyword, maxMessages or channelMaxMessages for the limit and afterDate, channelAfterDate or dateFrom for the date. Dates accept 2026-10-01 or relative values like "7 days" or "yesterday".
