Is there a way to search all public posts in telegram, event channels you're not in?

Describe your suggested feature

I'm trying to do a public posts search through all channels (including ones you're not in) in telegram programmatically. I know this can be done through the desktop client: see screenshot.

I've tried using telethon, specifically, the SearchGlobalRequest method and client.iter_messages setting entity as None. However, this only searches through channels that you're a member of.

I've searched stackoverflow before, but the last relevant answer said this wasn't possible. I'm wondering if it's been made possible since.
