Searches for messages with given words in the chat. Returns result in reverse chronological order, i. e. in order of decreasimg message_id. Doesn't work in secret chats
### Params:

|----------|:-------------:|:--------:|------------:|
|chat\_id|[InputPeer](../types/InputPeer.md) | Yes|Chat identifier to search in|
|query|[string](../types/string.md) | Yes|Query to search for|
|from\_message\_id|[long](../types/long.md) | Yes|Identifier of the message from which we need a history, you can use 0 to get results from beginning|

### Example:
```
$MadelineProto = new \danog\MadelineProto\API();
if (isset($token)) { // Login as a bot
$MadelineProto->bot_login($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->searchChatMessages(['chat_id' => InputPeer, 'query' => string, 'from_message_id' => long, 'limit' => int, 'filter' => SearchMessagesFilter, ]);
```
Or, if you're into Lua:
```
Messages = searchChatMessages({chat_id=InputPeer, query=string, from_message_id=long, limit=int, filter=SearchMessagesFilter, })
```
