alt Hacker NewsThis looks interesting! I wanted to find more info about the Gemini protocol, and it's annoying how un-searchable it is now due to Google Gemini.

To be fair, "Gemini" is one of those overused words for projects and it was unsearchable before Google. It's in the same category as Atlas, Nexus and Styx.
It's as if someone took a look at Gopher and tried to do it in 21st century.
It's not bad, but the (intentional) lack of user-input takes the whole experiment back. The only user input is a small search query. It's intentionally set up against building any kind of BBS/Forum. So you need a different way to write and upload, which - in my opinion - kills the whole project. YMMV.
Lagrange - the most used browser - used to have something called "Titan" as user upload but that was never specified and nobody used it and I think it's removed from Lagrange now.
edit: ah it still supports it (Titan). It just seems there is no server in the world that uses it.
It's interesting how long we're been using web search, and the total lack of user education on the features.
"Gemini protocol" with quotes should help.
+Gemini +protocol for more fuzzy, less accurate results
Try "gemini protocol", it helps a lot.
But, trully, there’s no much to search. The beauty of Gemini is how small it is: all technical informations should be there : https://geminiprotocol.net/
