I’m not that familiar with Gemini, but implementing search functionality via Gemtext is impossible right? Would the appropriate comparison not be pages that are similarly static to Gemtext?

I’m not convinced that an entirely new protocol is necessary. How is the Gemini experience different from just browsing all webpages with JS disabled, or if you want to go even further, using a web browser that just doesn’t implement JavaScript?

There are a couple of search engines in Gemini already, as the server software can do as much computing as it wants before serving a page.

Even for gopher there is more than one search engine [1] besides the glourious Veronica-2.
