Searches for specified query in the first name, last name and username of the known user contacts

Params:

Name Type Required Description
query string Yes Query to search for, can be empty to return all contacts
limit int Yes Maximum number of users to be returned

Return type: Users

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, })
