veronica: very easy rodent-oriented net-wide index of computerized archives. veronica is a resource-discovery system providing access to information resources held on most (99% +) of the world’s gopher servers. In addition to native gopher data, veronica includes references to many resources provided by other types of information servers, such as WWW servers, usenet archives, and telnet-accessible information services. veronica queries are keyword-in-title searches. A simple query can be quite powerful because a large number of information servers are included in the index. veronica is accessed through gopher client software (see Q6). A veronica user submits a query (via a gopher client) which may contain boolean keyword expressions as well as special veronica directives. The result of a veronica search is a gopher menu comprising information items whose titles contain the specified keywords. The results menu may be browsed like any other gopher menu.
