| offset_id_offset | flags.2?int | Indicates the absolute position of messages[0] within the total result set with count count. This is useful, for example, if the result was fetched using offset_id, and we need to display a progress/total counter (like photo 134 of 200, for all media in a chat, we could simply use photo ${offset_id_offset} of ${count}). |
| search_flood | flags.3?SearchPostsFlood | For global post searches ยป, the remaining amount of free searches, here query_is_free is related to the current call only, not to the next paginated call, and all subsequent pagination calls will always be free. |
