Template:Multiple issues Jughead is a search engine system for the Gopher protocol. It is distinct from Veronica in that it searches a single server at a time.<ref name="iu">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
Jughead was developed by Rhett Jones in 1993 at the University of Utah.<ref name="iu" />
The name "Jughead" was originally chosen to match the Archie search engine, as Jughead Jones is Archie Andrews' best friend in Archie Comics. Later a backronym was developed: Jonzy's Universal Gopher Hierarchy Excavation And Display.
It was released by the original author under the GNU General Public License in 2006,<ref name="savannah">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> and its source code has been modernized to better run on current POSIX systems.
Due to trademark issues, the modified version was called Jugtail,<ref name="eff">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> and has been made available for download on GNU Savannah.<ref name="savannah" />
