Veronica offers a keyword search of most gopher-server menus in the entire gopher web. As Archie is to FTP archives, Veronica is to gopherspace. The user tells the client, in plain English, what to look for out in dataspace. The client then searches various WAIS servers around the globe. The user tells the client how relevant each hit is, and the client can be sent out on the same quest again and again to find new documents.
Client software is available for many different types of computers.
