MadelineProto Example (now async for huge speed and parallelism!):

if (!file_exists('madeline.php')) {
    copy('https://phar.madelineproto.xyz/madeline.php', 'madeline.php');
}
include 'madeline.php';

$MadelineProto = new \danog\MadelineProto\API('session.madeline');
$MadelineProto->start();

$messages.Messages = $MadelineProto->messages->searchGlobal(['folder_id' => int, 'q' => 'string', 'offset_rate' => int, 'offset_peer' => InputPeer, 'offset_id' => int, 'limit' => int, ]);

Or, if you're into Lua:

messages.Messages = messages.searchGlobal({folder_id=int, q='string', offset_rate=int, offset_peer=InputPeer, offset_id=int, limit=int, })
