[Back to methods index](index.md)
Searches for specified query in the first name, last name and username of the known user contacts
### Params:
| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|----------|:-------------:|:--------:|------------:|
|query|[string](../types/string.md) | Yes|Query to search for, can be empty to return all contacts|
|limit|[int](../types/int.md) | Yes|Maximum number of users to be returned|
### Return type: [Users](../types/Users.md)
### Example:
```
$MadelineProto = new \danog\MadelineProto\API();
if (isset($token)) { // Login as a bot
$this->bot_login($token);
}
if (isset($number)) { // Login as a user
$sentCode = $MadelineProto->phone_login($number);
echo 'Enter the code you received: ';
$code = '';
for ($x = 0; $x < $sentCode['type']['length']; $x++) {
$code .= fgetc(STDIN);
}
$MadelineProto->complete_phone_login($code);
}
$Users = $MadelineProto->searchContacts(['query' => string, 'limit' => int, ]);
```
Or, if you're into Lua:
```
Users = searchContacts({query=string, limit=int, })
```
