Al, Sorry, I don't know of a search engine for that will scan for high option premiums. If you find one let me know, it could be a money making machine.

Might be easier to find a search engine that will scan for stocks with high price volatility. Price volatility usually creates high option premiums.

I occasionally use this site. Although I mostly buy and sell calls based on volatility and high earnings growth.
coveredcalls.com

Try ivolatility.com

You can get the latest implied volatility (IV) on a stock. What I especially like is that you can compare the current IV with its 52-week range. Some stocks are very volatile, some aren't.

Volatile stocks may seem to have expensive options, but the IVs may actually have come down from their peak within the last year.

Similarly, some stocks that usually aren't very volatile may see a spike in IV, that may present a good option writing candidate.
