What exactly does "pre-load a search" mean, and how do I implement
this in an HTML document? Say that I want to refer to the WWW
Provider's Style Guide by Tim Berners-Lee at CERN, for the section
about how big to make each document. Now, all of you readers of
www-talk can find this manually, and have probably already read that
text, but that is not why someone invented hypertext and the
world-wide web. How do I do this without explicitly saying
href="http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/Provider/Style/DocSize.html"?
Let's say that we had the equivalent of "archie" or "veronica" for
WWW. Call it "spidey". Then you could say
href="spidey://spidey.msen.com:5000/DocSize.html"
(to match by file name) or
href="spidey://spidey.msen.com:5000/timbl+style+docsize"
or maybe even
href="spidey://spidey.msen.com:5000/ISBN=2-012523-096-3+docsize"
Search #1 is the equivalent of the archie "-e" exact search.
Search #2 is the equivalent of a WAIS or Gopher search, with some
keywords; you can imagine a slightly enhanced version if you know that
the database is somehow structured.
Search #3 is what you would do if you do if major World Wide Web
collections had International Standard Book Numbers, and shows a
reference to an index in a book.
Each of these are probabilistic, but they should *both* get the user
close enough to the document to make it possible for them to find it
on ther own *and* not be immediately obsolete once the document
changes or moves.
(you hope)
