How to find Telegram channels and chats by keywords

Telegram's built-in search returns about ten results. To gather hundreds of themed chats and channels for a niche you need a keyword fan-out — here's how it works.

Why the built-in search isn't enough

Telegram caps search results, so you only see the tip. We poll an account pool across dozens of synonyms and keywords, merge the results and remove duplicates — hundreds of sources instead of a dozen.

Step 1. Collect the niche keywords

Enter the niche and its synonyms. For channels you can also get reach, engagement (ER) and post freshness — tick “Deep channel analysis” before the run, it is off by default — so you can pick placements for ad seeding.

Step 2. Turn on cross-language search

Working several GEOs? Enable the languages you need — the service uses AI to figure out how the niche is actually named by native speakers of 12 languages and finds foreign channels a literal translation misses. The export is then grouped by language.

Step 3. Export the links

Found chats and channels export as a link list to Excel and TXT. Then you can parse their members and build a look-alike core by intersecting bases.
