So would I, or DVD, or whatever. Obviously it would have to be a lot of them.

It could, but only as gopher menu titles; I'm not set up to handle full-text
and for that matter neither was the original Veronica, although many did add
some kinds of full-text search later on. V-2 has around 1.2 million selectors
in its database and helsinki can traverse it in a few seconds, even being the
modest 500MHz G3 Macintosh that it is, so that's not a problem there.
