Jughead (search engine)
Jughead is a search engine system for the Gopher protocol. It is distinct from Veronica in that it searches a single server at a time,[1] providing a local searchable index of items on that server, as opposed to Veronica's global index of all Gopher items.[2] Jughead supported Boolean operators (AND, OR, and NOT) and partial-word searches using an asterisk as a wildcard character.[3]
Jughead was developed by Rhett Jones in 1993 at the University of Utah.[1]
The name "Jughead" was originally chosen to match the Archie search engine, as Jughead Jones is Archie Andrews' best friend in Archie Comics. Later a backronym was developed: Jonzy's Universal Gopher Hierarchy Excavation And Display.[3]
It was released by the original author under the GNU General Public License in 2006,[4] and its source code has been modernized to better run on current POSIX systems.
Due to trademark issues, the modified version was called Jugtail,[5] and has been made available for download on GNU Savannah.[4]
