Jughead is a search engine system for the Gopher protocol. It is distinct from Veronica in that it searches a single server at a time.[1]
Jughead was developed by Rhett Jones in 1993 at the University of Utah.[1]
The name "Jughead" was originally chosen to match the Archie search engine, as Jughead Jones is Archie Andrews' best friend in Archie Comics. Later a backronym was developed: Jonzy's Universal Gopher Hierarchy Excavation And Display.
It was released by the original author under the GNU General Public License in 2006,[2] and its source code has been modernized to better run on current POSIX systems.
Due to trademark issues, the modified version was called Jugtail,[3] and has been made available for download on GNU Savannah.[2]
