[gopher] Improving Gopher Searches
Improving the "freshness" of the Veronica-2 / VISHNU database
is probably the best way to ensure that recently added material
is findable. That got me wondering if perhaps what's needed
is a local indexer that could be run at least daily, with the
resulting data ball either left in the root directory for
retrieval by, or sent in to, the Veronica-2 / VISHNU server(s).
The idea is to reduce the amount of gopherspace that needs to
be actively crawled by the Veronica-2 / VISHNU servers which,
from Cameron's posts, appear to take a while and aren't very
frequent.
I'm not very knowledgeable on database management; is the above
scheme feasible? If so, what should the data ball look like?
A flat file seems like it'd be adequate and leaves the "how" up
to individual server operators.
