TeleSearch: find your next Telegram channel

Telegram's built-in search is great when you already know the name. When you just want "something about balcony gardening" or an active group to practise Spanish, you end up scrolling through lists and asking friends. TeleSearch tackles that with a mini app full of categories and filters. 🔎

Two ways to search

Type a keyword and get a list of channels, groups, bots, mini apps and games. Or browse by category and topic to see what is trending right now.

You can join a channel or group straight from the results, no copying links around. Handy when you are checking out several options and want to compare them live.

Tip: phrase your query the way a channel owner would name their channel. "Weekly meal prep" works better than "what should I cook". 🍲

For channel owners

TeleSearch also works the other way round, as a place where people can discover you.

• Free listing. Add your channel or group to the catalog at no cost and pick up organic visits.
• Paid promotion. Flexible plans push your channel higher in the results.
• Featured Channel. Bought with $TeleSearch tokens, it places your channel among the recommendations.

The project says its top user countries are Russia, the United States, India, Indonesia, Türkiye and Germany. Worth knowing if your channel targets a specific market. 🌐

Where the tokens come from

There is a reward system built in. $TeleSearch tokens (ticker TSCH) are handed out for inviting friends, adding channels, browsing the catalog and completing tasks. A leaderboard ranks the top holders.

You can also buy the token with TON and spend it on promotion. The project states it runs on the TON blockchain.

Where to stay careful

$TeleSearch is first and foremost an in-app advertising currency. Public sources show no independent audits, exchange prices or liquidity data for it. So do not count on its price rising or on selling it quickly. ⚠️

• Buy tokens only for a specific promotion and only as many as you need.
• Do not treat rewards as income. Think of them as bonus points.
• Vet what you find. A catalog listing does not guarantee a group is honest, especially in crypto and money-making topics.

The active audience is small right now, about 1,600 people a month, even though hundreds of thousands have opened the bot over time. If you plan to pay for promotion, first see how much traffic the free listing brings.
