==Features==
BTDigg was created as a DHT search engine for [[free content]] for the BitTorrent [[Computer network|network]]. The web part of the BTDigg search system provides [[Magnet URI scheme|magnet links]] and partial [[Torrent file|torrent]] information (name, list of files, size) from the [[database]]. The returned results are based on a [[Web search query|user's text query]]. BTDigg's DHT search engine links two subjects that are partial information from a torrent and a magnet link, similar to the process of linking the content of a web page with a page [[Uniform resource locator|URL]]. BTDigg also provides [[Application programming interface|API]] for third-party applications.<ref name="BtDiggTorrent"/>
BTDigg Web interface supports English, Russian, Chinese, Portuguese languages. Users can customize search results by choosing proper sort order in the web interface. Additional features are search [[Application programming interface|API]], [[Application programming interface|API]] popularity, [[Plug-in (computing)|plugins]] for [[μTorrent]] and [[qBittorrent]] clients, [[Web browser]] [[OpenSearch]] [[Browser extension|plugin]] (for [[Internet Explorer]], [[Google Chrome]]). [[Application programming interface|API]] popularity gives a picture of changing popularity for a torrent in the BitTorrent DHT network.
