&gt; Nope, the bot only stores track title, performer and id. Actual media is stored on Telegram servers.<p>good idea ;-) BTW, do you have any recent news about Telegram decisions about uploaded files persistence on their server ?

This may be changed in the future. Inbound file_ids can be treated as persistent.<p>About searching on MusicBot 
(using web interface: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;web.telegram.org&#x2F;#&#x2F;im?p=@MusicCatalogBot" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;web.telegram.org&#x2F;#&#x2F;im?p=@MusicCatalogBot</a>)<p>I noted that:<p>1. inserting an author name, by example:<p>Alice Coltrane<p>?! :-)<p>I got all tracks related to any &quot;Alice&quot;, by example<p>Moby - Alice
some other Cocteau Twins track, etc.<p>no track related really to &quot;Alice Coltrane&quot;, 
that&#x27;s probably because you just do an OR on your query, 
ok, clear.<p>2. in the web client, in result track list, song names appear truncated... by example I&#x27;m not able to read the Cocteau Twin complete title track, in the above example.
