I have some searchable indexes in gopherspace which I'd like to make
look nice in World Wide Web.  By "look nice" I mostly mean
to make some screen with "<ISINDEX>" that tells me something
about the database, what some good searches are, maybe links
to particular options etc.

The first thing that comes to mind is to wrap a simple little
gopher client into a module for the "plexus" server, and launch
the queries that way.   But rather than write code, does anyone
have a good way to have documents that support "Search Keyword"
really send the query off to another server?
