Searches for messages in all chats except secret chats. Returns result in reverse chronological order, i. e. in order of decreasing (date, chat_id, message_id)
### Params:
| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|----------|:-------------:|:--------:|------------:|
|query|[string](../types/string.md) | Yes|Query to search for|
|offset\_date|[int](../types/int.md) | Yes|Date of the message to search from, you can use 0 or any date in the future to get results from the beginning|
|offset\_chat\_id|[long](../types/long.md) | Yes|Chat identifier of the last found message or 0 for the first request|
|offset\_message\_id|[long](../types/long.md) | Yes|Message identifier of the last found message or 0 for the first request|
|limit|[int](../types/int.md) | Yes|Maximum number of messages to be returned, can't be greater than 100|
### Return type: [Messages](../types/Messages.md)
### Example:
```
$MadelineProto = new \danog\MadelineProto\API();
if (isset($token)) { // Login as a bot
2017-06-19 18:56:47 +02:00
$MadelineProto->bot_login($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);
}
$Messages = $MadelineProto->searchMessages(['query' => string, 'offset_date' => int, 'offset_chat_id' => long, 'offset_message_id' => long, 'limit' => int, ]);
```
Or, if you're into Lua:
```
Messages = searchMessages({query=string, offset_date=int, offset_chat_id=long, offset_message_id=long, limit=int, })
```
