| +QUIRK: The original gopher client tried to be too intellignet. It is using | |
| +gopher+ when you request some resource. When "search" is just the value "+", | |
| +"!", "$" or empty, geomyidae will display a gopher+ redirect instead of invoki… | |
| +script. Be careful to design your search script so the user is unlikely to | |
| +enter those values. The designers of gopher+ did not think of classic gopher | |
| +to survive. It survived gopher+. | |
