Preturnio is a full-text search engine for the Bitcoin blockchain. Preturnio lets you search for text inside transactions that may contain readable text - specifically: coinbase transactions, transactions with an OP_RETURN script and/or ordinal inscriptions. What problem is Preturnio solving? Data is natively stored in the blockchain in a format that is not easily readable by humans (hexadecimal encoded text). This makes searching for plain text a challenge. Block explorers allow you to browse blockchain data but only decode the data when you're looking at a specific transaction. These explorers allow you to look up specific transactions, addresses and blocks but not specific text patterns. Preturnio solves this problem with a clean, simple interface for your search query and automatically converts search results into a readable form. Preturnio takes care of all the mess of encoding the raw blockchain data into human readable results with an easy-to-use search interface. Simply enter the text you’re looking for and Preturnio will return highlighted results found in any OP_RETURN, Coinbase or Ordinal transaction. See when the data was created, which block it was confirmed in and other relevant details. You can search for anything: source code, names, quotes, brc-20 tokens – any plain text you can think of, you can find in the blockchain with Preturnio! You can share transactions with a direct link or even a preview image. Posting to Twitter will automatically create a Twitter card. Ordinals are supported! Each text based inscription can be previewed inline or full screen. We support all transactions encoded with text-supported MIME types and we categorize inscriptions into two buckets – text and HTML. You can toggle to source code view with a familiar search interface to find the text you’re looking for inside the inscription payload. When you share an inscription, Preturnio will try to include a preview of the inscription whether it’s text or HTML. Once you’ve found your inscription, you can then search inside it with a familiar ‘Find’ experience to look for specific text. Don’t trust Preturnio? You shouldn’t - so naturally each search result can be verified with a single click to on one of several public block explorers as well as ordinal explorers for inscriptions. It's also easy to copy the TX ID to verify on your own node. Preturnio has also cross referenced all transactions against a published list of all known English words (more languages coming soon) so you can browse individual words stored somewhere on the blockchain. This is actually a lot of fun! Check out the docs to learn about other search features supported. Feedback is encouraged and appreciated. Thanks for welcoming Preturnio - now go out there and find some cool stuff buried in the Bitcoin blockchain!
