Search Descriptor

[Simon D. Williams]

How do I add a search descriptor to my gophermap?

This is what I have:
7Search Gopherspace with Veronica 2<tab><tab>gopher.floodgap.com/7/v2/vs
but it results in:
'/v2/vs/7' doesn't exist!
This resource cannot be located.

Hi,

You don't tell us what gopher server you are using...

On the Grumpy Gopher Server (and probably most of standard gophermap
compliant servers) you should use the following syntax:

7Search Veronica<tab>/v2/vs<tab>gopher.floodgap.com

The syntax is basically the same than the one presented natively by the
server to gopher clients, that is:
<one_char_type>Description<tab>SELECTOR<tab>SERVER<tab>PORT

Note, that the last part (PORT) is not mandatory in most of gophermap
implementations.

Best regards,

Bucktooth... I assumed gophermap syntax would be the same regardless of
the server.

Thanks! That's done it.
