Practical overview
When it fits
Use it when you need searchable records associated with an Ethereum-compatible contract, or when a dApp needs to query contract data already indexed by the engine.
Who it is for
- People looking up contract-related records by text or address.
- Developers building dApps that need to query indexed smart-contract information.
Documented uses
- Search indexed records using plain text.
- Find records associated with a contract, owner, player or winner address.
- Query indexed search-engine data from a JavaScript or Node.js dApp through es-ss.js.
- Index deployed instances of a contract using its ABI and an RPC endpoint.
Requirements & limits
The README describes general search without a wallet or Chrome extension. Its separate predefined-query option uses the address in a browser wallet and names the CyberMiles Venus Chrome Extension as an example.
- Indexing requires a raw contract ABI file and an RPC URL.
- The documented API package is es-ss.js, used from JavaScript or Node.js.
- The repository is public and specifies the GPL-3.0 license.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Search indexed contract data by text or address
Filter available search results using plain text or a contract, owner, player, or winner address.
Before you start
- Access to the Smart Contract Search Engine search interface.
Steps
Open the search interface.
Select “Search” to view all results, or enter plain text or an address to filter results.
Review the matching results.
Expected outcome
Search results are filtered by the entered text or address.
Guide limitations
- This describes searching existing indexed data; it does not cover setting up the index or guarantee results for a particular query.
- The documented address types are contract, owner, player, and winner.
