Veronica (search engine)

Veronica was a Gopher search engine, released in November 1992 by Steven Foster and Fred Barrie at the University of Nevada, Reno.
It was often updated to have results for almost everything on thousands of Gopher servers. Most popular Gopher menus could access it. Veronica is gone, but there are local versions and Veronica-2, a full rewrite.
Naming.
Veronica's name is from an Archie Comics character (Veronica Lodge), as is Archie, an FTP search engine. Veronica uses the backronym "Very Easy Rodent-Oriented Net-wide Index to Computer Archives".
