Wikipedia Search service bot
In short
A tiny helper for arguments in group conversations. No need to switch to a browser to prove what happened in which year.
About the bot
Picture a group debating who invented radio or how long tortoises live. Rather than leaving for a browser and pasting a link, you call this bot from the message field, type the topic and pick an article from the list.
Your friends get a link with a title and a short preview, and can open the full text from there. It works in private conversations, groups and comments.
Telegram built it back in the days of the first inline bots, and it has barely changed since. That cuts both ways. It is quick and predictable, but it does exactly one thing: find an article. No section excerpts, no images, no search inside the text. It also asks for no subscriptions, sends no notifications and sells nothing, which is a rare treat among bots these days.
English queries tend to hit the right page first, other languages sometimes push it further down the list. And for anything more serious than trivia, you will still need to open the article and read it rather than just flash a headline.
