[K

[K
[8C[KIf your local gopher server does not already have a link to veronica,
[69D[Kuse gopher to go to the server at gopher.micro.umn.edu ( port 70 ).
[67D[KChoose the menu item "Other Gopher and Information Servers".
[60D[KChoose veronica from that menu.  In step-by-step form it is like this:

[69Denter a keyword or keywords to define your title search.
[56D[KThe simplest way to search with veronica is to enter a single
[61Dword and hit the RETURN key.  It does not matter whether the
[60Dword is upper-case or lower-case.  For details on how to
[56D[Kcompose more complex veronica queries, see Q14 in this FAQ,
[59D"How do I compose a veronica search query".
[K
[8C[KThe veronica server will return a gopher menu composed of items
[63Dwhose titles match your keyword specification.  These items are
[63D[Kculled from the menus of (potentially) many gopher servers.
[59D[KAs with any gopher menu, you access an item of interest by
[58Ddouble-clicking it or hitting the <return> key.
[K
[8C[KIf you want to include veronica service on the menu of your local
[65D[Kgopher server,  you can find the gopher-item-descriptor for veronica
[68Dfrom this menu at Minnesota;  ask the administrator of your local
[65D[Kgopher server to include a link to that item on your local menu.

[K[8Cmakes[Cfor[Cmore[Ccompact[Cscreens.
[K
[8C[KThere is a deeper answer, of course ...
[K
[8C[KThe veronica server is designed to work with the query-type item
[64D[Kof all gopher clients.  It can only return one set of data
[58D[Kin reply to each query, in accord with the gopher protocol.  There
[66D[Kis no chance for further negotiation between the client and server.
[67D[KThe veronica-search server could return visible lines about the
[63Dhost and context of each item, but it would need to do so for all
[65Ditems, tripling the size of the return as mentioned above.  The

   [5Cprotocol to allow[Cf[Cllowup queries, using the[Cgopher+[Ccli[Cnts[Cand
[65D[Kservers.  Meanwhile, clients just are not capable of this feature.
[K
[8C[KAnd deeper yet ...
[K
[8C[KContext means many things ...  Is it adequate to know the host, path
[68Dand type of an item, or do you want to know the last update time,
[65D[Kthe number of links to that item in the entire gopher network,
[62Da unique internet-id for that data item, the names of veronica servers
[70D[Kreferencing that item, and so forth?  The gopher+ protocol and other
[68D[Kemerging protocols will allow us to maintain some of this information.
[70DThe veronica developers at Nevada feel that it is preferable to use
[67Dthese standards as they become available, rather than to define[K
[63D[Kad-hoc document identifiers, etc. which are specific only to veronica.

[69D[Kdata-collection software will find your gopher server IF it is
[62D[Kregistered with the Mother Gopher at Minnesota, OR IF it is
[59D[Kreferenced on the menu of another gopher server which is registered
[67Dat Minnesota.  Of course, the veronica data-harvesting algorithm
[64D[Kwill not be able to access your server if you have restricted access

[C***  QUERY KEYWORD LOGIC
[CThe search understands the logical operators AND, NOT, OR, (, and ).
[C[KAdjacent keywords without an intervening logical operator are treated as[H[79C81

[Cthough conjoined by an AND.[K
[K
[C[KInterpretation of the query starts from the right-hand, interpreting operators
[C[Kas encountered.  If in doubt about order of interpretation, USE PARENTHESES!
[K
[CSearch keywords are NOT case-sensitive.[K
[K
[C[K***  RESTRICTING  THE SEARCH TO CERTAIN GOPHER TYPES
[CYou can limit the data returned by veronica to certain gopher item types.
[CThis restriction is done by adding a -t type specifier to your query.
[CThe -t flag may appear anywhere in the search specification.  For instance:
[C[K   "women -t1" returns links to gopher DIRECTORIES whose name contains "women".

[C[K   "-t1 women"  does exactly the same thing.
[C[KNOTE that there must NOT be any spaces between the -t and the type specifier.

[CYou may specify MORE THAN ONE type in the query.  DO NOT use separate -t
[C[Kspecifications to do this; simply put all the types together (with no
[C[Kspaces) after the -t.  For example:
[C[K   "-ts1  mac"  returns links to gopher DIRECTORIES or SOUNDS with the word[21A[C[C[C5

[C[K[15C"mac"[Cin[Cthe[Cname.
[30D"women -t18"  returns links to gopher DIRECTORIES or TELNET links, whose
[C[K[15Cname[Ccontains[Cthe[Cword[C"women".
