Instead, you put a link to a page that replies with the 10 or 11 status code and that will make the browser showing a text field and send what the user typed as query part of the url. Using geminispace.info as example, they provide a link "search" that looks like this: => /search Search When the server receives a request for ``/search'' it replies with 10: % printf "gemini://geminispace.info/search\r\n" | \ nc -c -Tnoverify geminispace.info 1965 10 Search query % usually browser will pop up a text field in this case, and then visit the page /search?<user query here> So, if you search for "kittens" the browser will visit the page gemini://geminispace.info/search?kittens HTH Omar Polo
Maybe this could evolve to allow application with form|multiple entry to be built.

It intentionally doesn't do that. Input in Gemini is more similar to
search items in gopher, or the <ISINDEX> tag in HTML 1.
