Introducing Telegram Search Engine 🎉
TSE is a telegram crawler you can build other projects on top of.
Out of the box it comes with:
✅ Channel discovery — keyword "phone" and it will search using that or give it a seed channel -> link-graph crawling (follows mentions, forwards) that snowballs seeds into thousands of channels
✅ AI analysis — a local LLM classifies every channel, writes a summary, no API keys.
✅ Real search — typo-tolerant, relevance-ranked search (Meilisearch)
✅ Quality scoring — channels ranked by activity, content quality, network influence (PageRank) & freshness
✅ Community graph — an interactive, Obsidian-style map of how channels reference each other.
🐳 Self-hosted & open source — one docker (Postgres + search + API + UI).
The live demo explores a frozen snapshot of tech-community channels as a proof of concept.
