From: gopher-project-bounces+rachael=telefisk.org@lists.alioth.debian.org Date: Thu Feb 17 23:41:10 2011 Subject: [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.
