Enter your search topic and press "Enter"

Since the gopher has a default of 40 topics, you have to append to your
query "-m 13" (or whatever maximum number of topics you want, being careful
to leave a gap between your keyword and the hyphen).  (e.g."kachin -m 13"
gave 13 documents out of 769.  "kachin -m 130" gave 130).  It also supports
Boolean searches.  Thus, when you put in "kachin -m 300 AND women", it gives
300 (out of 352), and when you narrow it down to "kachin -m 300 AND
women AND 1994", it gives 212 documents.
