[Question] How to organize a search among chat/group/etc name

[tilvin]

Hello, i ask for advice or a second opinion about my problem. At my app i have a search field where user types a chat name (or it's part) and the app is supposed to provide a list of found results. So i take a string which user typed and I trigger searchPublicChats and searchChatsOnServer. So i getting array of chat ids. Then i take each chat id and trigger getChat , so i receive chat Title and some other info.

Then i want to add chat logo to each chat instance and represent it along with title. It seems i need to perform an additional request to download an icon to each chat instance. There's a Minithumbnail, but it's really too small.

While it's processing the user is waiting for search result.

Is there any better solution for search?

Thanks!

See https://github.com/tdlib/td/issues/2616#issuecomment-1735201401 for the methods that are invoked by apps to get results of global search.

Also, you never need to call getChat, because chats should be cached as described at https://core.telegram.org/tdlib/getting-started.
