The RFC says this about searches:

    The client sends the server the selector string, a tab, and the search
    string (words to search for).

When I try this with Veronica-2 on floodgap, I get a "resource not
found" error (actually, FF refuses to even process the query):

gopher://gopher.floodgap.com/7/v2/vs%09nasa

However, this works fine in the following format:

gopher://gopher.floodgap.com/7/v2/vs?nasa

Is this a discrepancy between the RFC and how this particular search
is implemented, or am I reading the RFC wrong?
