BTDigg is the first Mainline DHT search engine. It participated in the BitTorrent DHT network, supporting the network and making correspondence between magnet links and a few torrent attributes (name, size, list of files) which are indexed and inserted into a database. For end users, BTDigg provides a full-text database search via a Web interface. The Web part of its search system retrieved proper information by a user's text query. The Web search supported queries in European and Asian languages. The project name was an acronym of BitTorrent Digger (in this context, digger means treasure-hunter). It went offline in June 2016, reportedly due to index spam. However, as of 2025 the service is reportedly back online, albeit often inaccessible from standard clearnet connections due to IP filtering. The service can be accessed via the Tor network/Tor Browser.
