I've looked at the Gemini specification [1] and wonder where I can findinformation about receiving search or other input from the client.Perhaps I am missing something obvious, as I see that there are agrowing number of interesting, searchable capsules [2] but have not yetseen how to do that. My goal is to implement a local search functionfor a capsule being built.

So I have two questions,

1) What markup should a gemini page contain to trigger an input dialog,and where may I see some sample code or pseudo code for the server-side? If anyone has any sample- psuedo code to share, that would be wonderful.

2) Which servers are light yet can still handle referrals to scripts, oris that best handled by a separate package and let the server deal withstatic pages only?
