Super: Search Groups and Channels

Telegram's built-in search is good at finding messages in your own chats, but hunting for a new community on a narrow topic is harder. Super is built for exactly that: it searches groups, channels, bots, movies and music. 🔍

The bot's interface and description are in Chinese, and the audience is mostly Chinese-speaking. About 245 thousand people use it each month.

What you can search

• Groups by topic or keyword.
• Channels that publish content you like.
• Bots for a specific task.
• Movies and music posted on Telegram.

Type a query as plain text and you get a list of results. The more specific the words, the less junk in the output.

Bot commands

• /start opens the main menu.
• /tags shows tags for browsing by topic.
• /hotwords lists a ranking of popular queries.
• /my opens your personal section.
• /help brings up help.

Searching so you actually find things

Start with a broad word, then narrow it. For example, topic first, then language, then city or format. If there are too many results, add a detail. If too few, drop a word. 🧭

The popular query ranking in /hotwords shows what other people look for. Sometimes it hands you an idea for your own next search.

Tags from /tags help when you do not know the exact words and simply want to see what exists on a topic.

Where the catch is

A search engine shows what is publicly available and does not check how safe it is. Results may include scam channels, chats full of ads, 18+ communities and material posted without the rights holders' permission. ⚠️

• Do not follow links from unfamiliar channels or enter card details there.
• Never send SMS codes or passwords to anyone in chats.
• Mind copyright. Downloading and sharing pirated movies and music remains your own responsibility.
• Promises of easy money in groups you find are most often a trap.

How to vet a community you found

Spend a minute checking before you join. It lowers the risk of landing in junk. ✅

1. Read the description and the pinned message.
2. Scroll through recent posts: is there real conversation or only ads.
3. Check whether the group has rules and moderators.
4. Ignore private messages from strangers who write after you join.

Who finds it handy

People looking for a community around a hobby, a profession or a language. Admins hunting for places to swap experience. The curious who want to see what is popular right now. 🙂

Before joining a new group, read its description and rules and check the member count. A living community usually shows in how people answer each other.
