Ha ha, but in 1977 they hadn't invented "search" yet. They would have used gopher.
Yeah, right, use gophers for search. Ha ha. I'm with you. Also, they used a baby mastodon to wash dishes, and they drove their cars by sticking their feet through the floor and running along the road.
Gophers. Paulp, you're such a joker.
Gopher wasn't around till 91. The RFC was published in 93.
