Search the entire guild for specific keywords

[LegendEvent]

I would like to use the search function available in the Discord client via code. I haven't found anything about this in the documentation. The only workaround I could think of is to search every channel in every guild for the keyword. Is there a better way to do this?

I did find this function in the code, you can probably access it by

this.client.channels.fetch().messages.search()
// or
this.client.channels.cache.get().messages.search()

discord.js-selfbot-v13/src/managers/MessageManager.js

Line 295 in 311d02d

async search(options = {}) {

but if you want to use raw http requests https://discord.com/api/v9/guilds/<guild_id>/messages/search?content=<search> is what you're looking for, it'll have the following result and returns only 25 messages so you'll need to add offset=25 to the end until you get to the number defined by total_results

{
  "analytics_id": "", // String
  "doing_deep_historical_index": false, // boolean
  "members": [], // Array ( no idea what's inside from the 1 test I did )
  "messages" : [] // Array of arrays ( [[{ base message data }], [{ base message data }]] )
  "threads": [] // Array ( [{ base threads data }] )
  "total_results": 122 // Number
}

You don't need to search every channel because in the following line it searches the entire server if the channel has a guildId property

discord.js-selfbot-v13/src/managers/MessageManager.js

Line 370 in 311d02d

data = await this.client.api.guilds[this.channel.guildId].messages[`search?${stringQuery.join('&')}`].get();
