We investigated the possibility to find transiting planets around relatively bright stars in the Hipparcos Catalog. We systematically searched in the Hipparcos photometry data for periods compatible with planetary transits, and constructed a ranked list of candidates for follow-up measurements. Radial velocities of 194 of the candidates were measured using HARPS, but these observations did not lead to identification of new transiting hot Jupiters. Our procedure seems to preferentially select active stars. Beginning in 2012, the Gaia survey should allow numerous transiting hot Jupiters to be detected, since the corresponding photometric errors should be significantly smaller than those of Hipparcos.
