telega-chatbuf-filter-search with regexp about telega.el HOT 4 CLOSED

Searching is done by Telegram server, not by telega.el and Telegram server does not support regexps as I know. Use https://bugs.telegram.org/ to report this searching issue

JFYI: You can search messages inplace, using C-c C-r binding in the chatbuf

from telega.el.

Thank you for your suggestion. I found this: https://bugs.telegram.org/c/724.
So I'm looking for a temporary alternative method.

JFYI: You can search messages inplace, using C-c C-r binding in the chatbuf

Is there any difference with this search? I found that it behaves the same as telega-chatbuf-filter-search.

My current idea is to use telega-button-backward and apply the logic similar to my/match-at-point-msg to each message. Store each matched message, then telega-msg-goto.
Is this approach feasible? If you could provide some advice, I would greatly appreciate it.

telega-chatbuf-filter-search filters messages, i.e. shows only messages matching search query. Inplace searching searches for the query without filtering messages, so you can see context surrounding the message matching your query.

This could be done, however, in a general way this will be very slow and will give inconsistent results.

What you can do is to match newly incoming messages for some keyword of your interest and then display messages list. Something similar to custom value for telega-notifications-msg-temex and M-x telega-notifications-history RET command to display messages matching telega-notifications-msg-temex

I see.

Thanks, but this feature is quite important to me personally, so I will implement it temporarily to solve the problem.

This is also helpful.
