So they allow you to search through your previous chat history... that says to me its not encrypted on the server?

They have a normal chat system, and a "secret" chat which is encrypted.

I use the normal chat a lot, and have used it for so long that I'm starting to see a need to export my data. They seem to be ignoring this issue, and have been for months: https://github.com/DrKLO/Telegram/issues/384

Gotcha. Its unfortunate that it is so difficult to get people on a new chat app. A while back I set up an XMPP server and ChatSecure with OTR on iOS and Android but no one would use it.
