JUGHEAD (Jonzys Universal Gopher Hierarchy Excavation And Display) Telecom Definition

An Internet browser similar in operation to Veronica, but limited to keyword searches in directory titles on a specific site in Gopherspace. Jughead indexes the keywords in directory titles, but does not index the files within the directories. Playing off Archie and Gopher, subsequent developers of search mechanisms tried to stay with the Archie comic book/rodent theme, proving once and for all that even acronyms can be fun. Unfortunately, there is not even a hint of humor reflected in the chosen names of more recent and more powerful browsers. See also Archie, browser, Gopher, Gopherspace, Internet, and Veronica.
