I've looked at the Gemini specification [1] and wonder where I can find information about receiving search or other input from the client. Perhaps I am missing something obvious, as I see that there are a growing number of interesting, searchable capsules [2] but have not yet seen how to do that. My goal is to implement a local search function for 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, or is that best handled by a separate package and let the server deal with static pages only? /Lars [1] https://gemini.circumlunar.space/docs/specification.html [2] e.g. gemini://gemini.omarpolo.com/cgi/gempkg/search

Here's an example of a very basic CGI script written in Ruby: gemini://rwv.io/src/search It triggers a "10" response when there's no query set, otherwise it returns a "20" response with links to all the files matching the query. In this case it simple greps through the gemini directory. Note, it doesn't do query string decoding so, depending on the server, you might have to do some for "special" characters. > 2) Which servers are light yet can still handle referrals to scripts, or > is that best handled by a separate package and let the server deal with > static pages only? Any light server supporting CGI should be fine. Cheers, Remco

Thanks! I appreciate it.
