As The Masked Avenger has hinted at, one can find all $n$ for which $n^2+1$ has all prime factors below a given bound by looking among the first several solutions to finitely many Pell equations. St"{o}rmerStørmer described this method already in 1897. This predates Siegel by thirty years. See also

(Note that St"{o}rmer'sStørmer's method is less pliable than the solutions based on Siegel's theorem; it applies only to $n^2+1$ and a few other polynomials.)
