- Veronica and Jughead
-
- Veronica is an Internet service that allows the searching of key
- words in gopher menu titles. You can search by directory titles
- only or in all titles. The indexes Veronica searches are updated
- approximately weekly. The results of a Veronica search appears
- in the form of a gopher menu which can be accessed like any
- gopher menu.
-
- There are currently (8/94) eight Veronica servers in the world.
- You may gopher to them directly, or find them all on a menu
- from the U. of Minnesota top level gopher uner "Other Gopher
- and Information Servers." They are:

- searches to only a portion of gopherspace--the portion of
- particular interest to those who set up the Jughead server.
-
- Veronica (and Jughead) searches follow these rules:
- 1) You may use the booleans AND, OR and NOT between search
- terms. A space between search words is an implied AND.
- 2) You may use the * character as a truncation wildcard.
- 3) Searches are case insensitive (upper and lower case do not
- matter.
